Police in Los Angeles are treating a racially charged word left on the outside gate of a home owned by LeBron James as a hate crime.
Police were called to James’ home Wednesday morning after the slur was discovered on the front gate.
James, who also has a home in Bath Township, was not at either residence at the time. He and his teammates are in the San Francisco Bay area preparing for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors.
LeBron addressed the media later in the day and said the issue of racism in America has once again reared its ugly head and has taken center stage.
