Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris had a very powerful message on Monday as he pleaded for justice from Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron to arrest the police officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor. He did not hold back as he called out Cameron in his only message on the day in his media availability and it caught the eyes of the best player in the game.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James–who has also used his large platform for voicing social issues in the past–applauded Harris for using his voice and message as he tweeted at him specifically.

Harris then reciprocated the love back to James in a thank you for the acknowledgment. He also had the same message in the tweet: Justice for Breonna Taylor.

Harris will continue to lead the Sixers in their work for social justice as the team has a big platform down in Orlando. All eyes will be on them every time they step out onto the court and it will be up to them to keep that message going. [lawrence-related id=35050,35037,35023]
