LeBron James wasn’t among the many NBA players and coaches immediately denouncing the violent mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters swarming the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, but he was definitely watching.
James made his thoughts known on Thursday with a T-shirt and an Instagram post, both leading with the same question in all caps: “DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?” In smaller letters, the shirt also contained a slogan used by James in the past:
“In memoriam of the countless Black lives lost to police brutality and racial injustice.”
The Los Angeles Lakers star wore the shirt as he walked into Staples Center ahead of a game against the San Antonio Spurs.
