Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James made a statement with his wardrobe, long before his team was scheduled to take on the Utah Jazz in an ESPN-televised game to cap off the 5th day of NBA action at the Walt Disney World campus.
James pulled up to Monday night’s game with a long-sleeved black t-shirt with graphic the right side of the chest with a stopwatch that is stopped on 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the amount of time that police officer Derek Chauvin spent with his knee on the neck of Minnesota’s George Floyd, who died as a result of the knee to the neck.

James showed fans a closer look at his photo on his Instagram page, with a clock that shows “8:46” in different timezones all over the world, showing that the Black Lives Matter movement is not just confined to the United States but is relevant all over the world.
The Lakers face-off against the Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz at 6 p.m. Monday.
