LeBron James Praises Adam Silver, Says NFL Owners Have 'Slave Mentality'

A new episode of LeBron James's The Shop on HBO aired Friday night. James and Maverick Carter were joined by Mary J. Blige, Lena Waithe, Nas, Jimmy Kimmel, Rams running back Todd Gurley, former NBA All-Star Chris Bosh and rapper Ice Cube.

During the episode, Carter asked Gurley about the protests over social injustice that NFL players initiated by taking a knee during the national anthem a few years ago. Carter asked Gurley why he thinks the protests have become less prominent this season, which led to an interesting discussion about race, protests, power and the differences between the NFL and NBA.
