What you saw from LeBron James and George Hill on Monday night were different sides of Black despair, on full display, when they came to the hard realization that finding a path to winning the war against racism won’t be easy to identify.
The stunning visual of Jacob Blake being shot from behind multiple times by Kenosha, Wisconsin, police prompted the second-guessing from Hill about resuming play, and the exasperation from James, who tried to cover his anger with a wry smile.
Blake is still alive, but, according to his father, is at least temporarily paralyzed from the waist down.
