Lakers’ LeBron James Reveals What Jersey Will Say, Makes Goal Clear
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been among the most vocal figures when it comes to social justice. However, on Saturday, the star player revealed that he won’t put a message on his jersey and explained why.
“I actually didn’t go with a name on the back of my jersey,” James said, via Mike Trudell. “It’s no disrespect to the list that was handed out to all the players. I commend anyone that decides to put something on the back of their jersey. It’s just something that didn’t seriously resonate with my mission, with my goal. I would have loved to have a say so on what would have went on the back of my jersey. I had a couple things in mind but I wasn’t part of that process and that’s okay.”
Some of his teammates have already revealed what they plan to say on the back of their jerseys, but it appears James will just stick with his last name.
There’s no doubt James will still be working on social justice causes while he’s in Orlando, but he’s very focused on basketball right now. He made his goal for the season very clear.
“I’m here for one goal and one goal only and that’s to win a championship,” James said.
