LeBron James wore shoes that say "equality" for the Cavaliers' season-opener against the Celtics.

James has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump and spoke at length about his social activism at the Cavs' media day.
"I will in my voice, I will in my passion, I will in my money, I will in my resources to my youth and my inner city and outside my inner city to let these kids know that there is hope, there is greater walks of life, and not one individual, no matter if it's the president of the United States...can stop your dreams from becoming a reality," James said.
During the national anthem before the game, all Cavaliers players stood while linking arms, while the Celtics players stood as normal.

“not one individual, no matter if it’s the president of the United States...can stop your dreams from becoming a reality,”
Lebron is S.O.S. Stuck on Stupid
I hope the NBA goes under.
Equality? Go give your millions away, drop your body guards and live in the ghetto to help turn it around.
Equality is the Lebron “Cash me outside, how about that”
I used to stand linking arms with my teammates, too.
Back then we called it Red Rover.
All done with the NBA too . . . disrespect for my flag is totally unacceptable . . . LeBron and the rest of the thugs can all go to hell!
Now that the circus is gone, some people are desperate for entertainment.
I have never nor will ever watch NBA. I have but have stopped watching NFL.
Looks like the NBA is about to join the NFL on the ASH HEAP OF HISTORY.
Sad...but if these multimillionaires HATE this country this much, it’s just as well that we stop supporting them.
“Linking arms” is the same as spitting on the flag in this context. Say goodbye to your fans, arm-linkers.
lol Mr multimillionaire complaining about inequality - trying to give the impression that he equal to the majority poor- uh huh!
Just another dumb ghetto thug, who had the luck to have the right genetics. Who would willingly subsidize this ungrateful idiot’s salary by buying a ticket to a game? Is that more important than having respect for your country?
Latest NBA news - nice teammate
To many dumb white people pay for the Fake Entertainment.
So, the mouth breathers will still show up no matter how much boycotting.
NBA been dead to me for years, NFL was 3 years ago.
This organized religion of sports has been a problem for quite some time.
I live in a minority minority city. ie. Mostly white.
Go to a football game and it is a sea of white with a smattering of black and brown.
Go to basketball and it is a sea of black with a smattering of brown and white.
Isn’t going to hurt the NBA much. Hell, I would even wager a cpl of bucks this is part of a plan to pull the NFL’s nuts off the griddle.
Being a protected class with extra rights is not equality.
When Magic and Bird left, so did I.
“...no matter if it’s the president...”
His statement is really pretty good until that part, above.
I wish a reporter would ask him to explain exactly what DJT has ever done to suppress the African-Americans.
You are correct.
