DENVER – With activists calling for LeBron James to suspend his NBA season in pursuit of "justice" over Cleveland police's shooting of Tamir Rice, James said "the issue is bigger than LeBron."
"This issue is bigger than me, it's about everyone," James said Tuesday night in at Denver's Pepsi Center, following the Cavaliers' 93-87 win over the Nuggets. "And gun violence and tragedies and kids losing lives at a young age, some way, somehow we need to understand that that matters more than just an individual."
