DENVER – With activists calling for LeBron James to suspend his NBA season in pursuit of "justice" over Cleveland police's shooting of Tamir Rice, James said "the issue is bigger than LeBron."
"This issue is bigger than me, it's about everyone," James said Tuesday night in at Denver's Pepsi Center, following the Cavaliers' 93-87 win over the Nuggets. "And gun violence and tragedies and kids losing lives at a young age, some way, somehow we need to understand that that matters more than just an individual."
Tuesday marked the second day of protests in Cleveland following a Cuyahoga County grand jury's decision not to indict two Cleveland police officers involved in the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in November, 2014.
