OAKLAND, Calif. -- Sitting in the same chair where he honored the legacy of Muhammad Ali after his death one year ago, LeBron James said 'being black in America -- it's tough' in response to his own Los Angeles home being vandalized with a racial slur on the eve of the 2017 Finals.
"No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is -- it's tough," James said, the day before his Cavaliers play the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the Finals.
