After Clevelands 106-99 win over the Wizards on Sunday night and LeBron James went for 20 points, 12 boards and 15 dimes – his fifth straight game of 10 or more assists – he did what he has done so often and eloquently since becoming the marketing major and driving force of the NBA entertainment machine and the bleeding conscience of the players.

King James stole the show by making a statement in his play, with his social views and through his fashion.
James wore shoes with the word EQUALITY stitched across the back for the first half of the game. When asked about his choice of kicks, LeBron said: We all know where we are right now, referring to the divisive state of the country under the presidents leadership. And we know who is at the helm here…I think we all have to understand that having equal rights and being able to stand for something and speak for something and keeping the conversation going (is important).

Once again, James continues to make social statements in a non-offensive and professional manner and stimulate a broader conversation about these issues and why they are important.
