After the game, LeBron James credited Colin Kaepernick for inspiring the kneeling demonstration — and said, “I hope we made Kap proud.”
“I hope we continue to make Kap proud. Every single day I hope I make him proud on how I live my life, not only on the basketball floor, but off the floor.”
“I want to always speak out against things that I feel like are unjust. I always want to be educated on things and go about it that way.”
LeBron added, “Kap was someone who stood up when times weren’t comfortable, when people didn’t understand, people refused to listen to what he was saying. If you go back and go look at any of his postgame interviews when he was talking about why he was kneeling, it had absolutely nothing to do with the flag. It had absolutely nothing to do with the soldiers, the men and women that keep our land free.” (TMZ)
