And once he decided to get involved, James never strayed. When Trayvon Martin was killed for walking in his own neighborhood, James and his Heat teammates took a photo wearing hoodies in the early years of Instagram. When Eric Gardner was murdered on camera, James and other NBA stars wore “I Can’t Breathe” shirts during warm-ups. He has continued along that path in recent years, advocating for Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Jacob Blake.
