LOS ANGELES -- NBA superstar LeBron James said Saturday he would opt out of wearing a social justice message on the back of his jersey because it doesn't "resonate with his mission."
"I didn't go with a name on the back of my jersey," the Los Angeles Lakers forward James said Saturday. "It was no disrespect to the list that was handed down to all the players. .... Just something that didn't seriously resonate with my mission, with my goal.""I would have loved to have a say on what would have went on the back of the jersey, but I'm OK with that. ...
James is one of just 17 players out of 285 who so far have opted to continue using their family names on the back of their uniforms.
