LeBron and Lakers wear red MAGA-like hats, but the message calls for justice for Breonna Taylor

Ahead of their playoff game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Lakers players were seen wearing red hats, which looked like MAGA hats worn by supporters of President Donald Trump.

Taylor was shot and killed by Louisville Police in her apartment during an error-free robbery in the early morning of March 13th. None of the officers involved has been charged with a crime.

James told reporters in July that NBA players are focusing on the case.

“I want to continue to shed light on justice for Breonna Taylor and her family and everything that happens with that situation,” James said.

The Lakers are the top seed in the Western Conference for the NBA playoffs, but they are in early trouble in the first round of the bubble in Orlando, Florida. On Tuesday night, the eighth-seeded Blazers – who led by as many as 16 points – defeated the Lakers 100-93 to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

James finished with a triple-double of 23 points, 17 rebounds and 16 assists. It’s James’ 24th playoff triple double.

Earlier Tuesday, the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks, lost to the Orlando Magic 122-110 in the first game of its first-round series.
