LeBron James has often shared his opinions when it comes to pressing issues inside and outside the NBA. Even more so if it’s something that concerns the everyday person in America.
Just recently, a couple of tragic shooting incidents took everyone by shock. The first one happened in Roseburg, Oregon when a gunman opened fire on a room full of students, resulting in 10 deaths and a number of injuries. The second shooting occurred just a few hours after, in Cleveland wherein the life of a baby girl was taken when she was shot inside a car.
James took to Twitter his thoughts on the tragedies.
C'mon man let's do and be better! Don't fall into the trap. This can't be only way. Accept more from yourselves. #TheLand #TheNation
