The prospect of victory is unique to every human being. With two trophies in his hands and more pages written on his brilliant resume, LeBron James succeeded in the successful partnership between the NBA and the players. After winning the 17th Los Angeles Lakers title, the Finals MVP recalled the fight for social justice and an end to racial profiling. He highlighted the union of voices, but called for resistance.
– It was incredible. Amazing what we did together. We did it together, we joined our voices. And this is how change should be. Only by joining the voices will we be heard. We have to keep fighting, fighting, asking. We can not stop. Together we can change, how to make America and the world a better place, he said.

LeBron James won his fourth NBA title, crowning a perfect season for the Los Angeles Lakers, and won his fourth MVP award in the Finals. He broke records, reached impressive numbers and put his name on star charts. But the player’s passage through the NBA bubble will also be remembered for the off-court dispute.
He brought all his outrage over social injustices and racial discrimination to his Disney resort in Orlando. He literally wore the “Vidas Negras Importam” shirt, being one of the main voices in the boycott of the players that put the continuity of the competition in check. LeBron James managed to bring the NBA with him and, over the past three months, he has shed light on important issues.
The message “Black Lives Matter” can be seen in all bubble games. Before the American national anthem, the teams donned their jerseys and knelt in protest. The court was also wrapped up in the phrase. On the uniforms, the words and not the names of the players showed every intention of going beyond basketball.
