When there’s a hard situation involving a social injustice, or an issue in the National Basketball Association,LeBron James always takes the stand to let the world know his thoughts about it. This case insn’t very different.

ā€œRead through the Sarver stories a few times now. I gotta be honest…Our league definitely got this wrong. I don’t need to explain why. Y’all read the stories and decide for yourself. I said it before and I’m gonna say it again, there is no place in this league for that kind ofbehavior.He posted on his Twitter account.

I love this league and I deeply respect our leadership. But this isn’t right. There is no place for misogyny, sexism, and racism in any work place. Don’t matter if you own the team or play for the team. We hold our league up as an example of our values and this aint it.ā€
