LeBron James has never been afraid to speak out on anything he felt he needed to, and Thursday afternoon was no different. Less than two days after being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, a few people in Boston were seen and recording themselves burning Isaiah Thomas jerseys, and that drew a lot of outrage in the NBA community.
Thomasā former teammates, like Jaylen Brown, said it was pathetic, and now James chimed in with a five tweet response to critics and those burning jerseys.
sister tragic death. Gordon Hayward paid he's dues as well and decided to do what's best for him and family. Put in the work, got betterā¦.

This coming after a video surfaced of a Boston fan inexplicably burning an Isaiah Thomas jersey with the caption ānot my point guard.ā

Considering Thomas was the heart and soul of the Celtics team, willing them to victory time and time again while also playing following the passing of his younger sister, almost every fan has the utmost respect for the 5-foot-9 point guard.
