James spoke about the incident, which is being investigated as a possible hate crime, in a press conference scheduled for the opening of the NBA Finals. A racist slur was spray-painted on the front gate of James' Los Angeles home, LA police told CNN. The Cleveland Cavaliers star bought the house just over two years ago for just under $21 million, according to public records. Last year, James and fellow NBA players Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony spoke to the issue at the ESPY awards"Tonight we're honoring Muhammad Ali, the GOAT," James said. "I look at my son being four years removed from driving his own car and being able to leave the house on his own," James said.
