[Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports]Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James said Saturday that he won't wear a social justice message on the back of his jersey when the NBA season resumes. "It was no disrespect to the list that was handed out to all the players," James said. Among the phrases reportedly agreed upon by the NBA and the NBA Players association include: Black Lives Matter; Say Their Names; I Can't Breathe; and Respect Us.
