LeBron James has not been shy to speak about social issues throughout his career. He is also using basketball as a platform to promote positive change, and often gives his thoughts on different topics whether during interviews or on his social media accounts. However on Sunday, he wanted to send a message across without saying a word, and opted to let his shoes do the talking.
During the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards, LeBron James decided to wear one black and one white version of his Nike LeBron 15s with the word “equality” on them. It’s also very fitting that he wore them while in the nation’s capital, and in a nationally-televised game.
Once again, James has found a way to raise awareness on equality, which he has been preaching for a very long time now. Another issue the Cavs star has always been against is racial violence, and together with his friends Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony, they are all continuing to be vocal about their stand on it.
