LeBron hails Martin Luther King Jr. Day as opportunity to unite, despite Trump’s attempts to divide

Players and teams across the NBA are celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, honoring the American civil rights leader on what would have been his 89th birthday, and in the 50th year after his assassination in Memphis. During the Cleveland Cavaliers' morning shootaround ahead of their marquee matchup against the rival Golden State Warriors, LeBron James took the opportunity to reflect on what King's legacy means to him, and the importance of continuing to advocate for social justice a half-century after King's death.
