Lebron abstained from the nonsense


Only because he didn't have any input to put what he wanted on the back.

“I actually didn’t go with a name on the back of my jersey,” James told reporters. “It’s no disrespect to the list that was handed out to all the players. I commend anyone that decides to put something on the back of their jersey. It’s just something that didn’t really seriously resonate with my mission, with my goal.”

Wearing a hat with the words “I am more than an athlete” on it, James said he had no input on the latter concept.

“I would have loved to have a say-so on what would have went on the back of my jersey,” James said. “I had a couple things in mind, but I wasn’t part of that process, which is okay. I’m absolutely okay with that. … Everything that I do has a purpose, has a meaning, so I don’t need to have something on the back of my jersey for people to understand my mission or know what I’m about and what I’m here to do.”

I think Lebron realized a championship won’t be as highly regarded playing against a bunch of guys wearing messages like “Peace” on the back of their jerseys.

Yep. It's surprising they don't notice how ridiculous this is, but I guess when you live in a rich man's world....

Honestly like Hardwin more and more lately. Wears what he wants, refuses to apologize and then doesn’t go along with silliness.

I’m surprised that Hardwin is more alpha than Westbrook.

Outside of BLM none of this even registers on my triggering scale for 2020.

I’m not triggered by children slinging dog shite at each other, but I’m certainly man enough to admit how asinine it is. Enjoy your corporate sponsored theater, I guess.

I mean.. Zion just chose "Peace".. I can get behind that. Who knows what his thought process is, but at least he didn't go straight for the BLM or Equality ones (furthering false narratives). If he's going to pick one, "Peace" is pretty reasonable imo. I think we all want peace.
