The four-time NBA champion took notice of the tweet and his reaction was on point. Yes, LeBron was shocked. He couldn’t believe that a NFL team can actually do this. The Raiders’ official Twitter account fired a tweet on Derek Chauvin’s verdict.

The former Minneapolis police officer heard his verdict on Tuesday for the death of George Floyd. Chauvin pinned Floyd to the ground with his knee on his neck and kept him that way for nine minutes. The jury reached a verdict and Chauvin will go to jail. Floyd kept saying “I can’t breathe,” but Chauvin wouldn’t listen.
