After the Lakers win against Portland trail blazers on Friday, February 26. James told reporters
“I will never shut up about things that are wrong. I preach about my people and I preach about equality, social justice, racism, voter suppression – things that go on in our community.

“Because I was a part of my community at one point and saw the things that were going on, and I know what’s still going on because I have a group of 300-plus kids at my school that are going through the same thing and they need a voice.

I’m their voice and I use my platform to continue to shed light on everything that might be going on, not only in my community but in this country and around the world.”

James also reacted to a comment made by Ibrahimovic when he claimed “undercover racism” caused the Swedish media and public to treat him with less respect and reverence: “This exists, I am 100% sure because I am not Andersson or Svensson.

To that comment, James said, “He’s the guy who said in Sweden, he was talking about the same things, because his last name wasn’t a [traditional Swedish] last name, he felt like there was some racism going on I speak from a very educated mind. I’m kind of the wrong guy to go at, because I do my homework.”
