LeBron James shows support for Breonna Taylor, Black women

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James struggled all day to find the appropriate words for the news out of Louisville, Kentucky on Wednesday that the one police officer, who was involved in the murder of Breonna Taylor, was charged with a crime that had nothing to do with Taylor’s death. James declined to talk with reporters on Wednesday but later on when he felt comfortable, James expressed his feelings of support for Black women as well as his disappointment at the lack of real accountability in the murder of Breonna Taylor.

James shared all of those feelings on Wednesday night while the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat played in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

James and several other players in the NBA have expressed their disappointment with the lack of any charges directly connected to Taylor’s murder, in her own home and her own bed. This also won’t be the last we hear of the case as the NBA Bubble is only three weeks away from completion.
