LeBron James was one of many across the world who mourned the loss of Chadwick Boseman, who passed away on Friday after a four year battle with colon cancer, which was only known to the public after his passing. Boseman’s family announced that he died on Friday night, sending shockwaves throughout the world.
Boseman, of course, is best known for the role of King T’Challa, in the Black Panther. LeBron had shared moments with Boseman before and shared one of those with his followers on social media, before damning the year that has gone on, with losses on stacking on top of losses in 2020.
The loss of Boseman was a shock to many, especially across the NBA and the Black community. The Black Panther was a cultural phenomenon, even one that James referenced after a great dunk in 2018. Boseman had many iconic roles as Black men in history, including Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall and James Brown. Boseman was 43.
