Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James wore an anti-Donald Trump hat on Tuesday before the team's opening playoff game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
The hat reads, “Make America Arrest The Cops Who Killed Breonna Taylor.” The words “Great Again” are crossed out.

LeBron James has been against Donald Trump since the latter was voted into office. The Lakers star has also been vocal about the social injustices in America, which is why he will continue to seek justice for Breonna Taylor until her killers are arrested.
James and the Lakers have the best record in the Western Conference standings. However, Los Angeles' first-round matchup against the Blazers will be tough since Damian Lillard is the hottest player in the bubble right now and C.J. McCollum, Carmelo Anthony and Jusuf Nurkic could give L.A. problems as well.
After missing the playoffs last season for the first time since his second year in the NBA, James bounced back in 2019-20 (with the help of Anthony Davis) and led the Lakers to the No. 1 seed in the rugged Western Conference. The King, who is looking for title No. 4 at Disney World, averaged 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists during the 2019-20 regular season.
For the first time during his legendary career, James led the NBA in assists per game. It was an incredible feat since LeBron is in Year 17 and 35 years old.
