The Los Angeles Lakers have been back in the gym as players finally began full-speed team workouts on Sunday.
Before the weekend, the Lakers brought back Quinn Cook, a key member of their team chemistry. On the same day the Lakers began team workouts, their star player was honored as one of the sportsworld’s people of the year.
Sports Illustrated announced its Sportsperson of the Year on Sunday, which focused on a type of athlete: The Activist Athlete. James was honored along with others, such as Breanna Stewart, Patrick Mahomes, Naomi Osaka and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif.
James, of course, has long been an activist in his sport, but he carried out his efforts this past season while winning his fourth NBA championship. James started a non-profit called “More Than A Vote” this past year to help make it easier for citizens, particularly Black citizens, to exercise their right to vote.
