NEW YORK (AP) β LeBron James says he is looking for an “I Can’t Breathe” shirt, and he could wear it before a game like Derrick Rose did.
Rose warmed up in the shirt Saturday before Chicago played Golden State. It refers to a New York man who died July 17 after a police officer placed him in a chokehold when he was being arrested for selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.
A recording of the arrest showed Eric Garner gasping, “I can’t breathe” during the fatal encounter, and thousands have protested a grand jury decision not to indict the officer since the announcement on Wednesday.
James called the shirt “spectacular” Sunday, when Cleveland practiced before its game Monday in Brooklyn.
Britain’s Prince William and Princess Kate are scheduled to attend the game.
