“In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality,” James said on his HBO discussion show, The Shop. “And it’s like, ‘This is my team. You do what the fuck I tell y’all to do. Or we get rid of y’all.’ “The difference between the NBA and the NFL, the NBA is what we believe he [a player] can be. The potential. In the NFL, it’s like what can you do for me this Sunday, or this Monday or this Thursday, and if you ain’t it, we moving on.”https://twitter.com/LordBalvin/status/1076346848212865025 James also praised NBA commissioner Adam Silver for his openness in dealing with his players and says that he will always entertain discussions and discourse.
“I’m so appreciative in our league of our commissioner,” James added. “He doesn’t mind us having ... a real feeling and to be able to express that. It doesn’t even matter if Adam agrees with what we are saying, he at least wants to hear us out. As long as we are doing it in a very educational, nonviolent way, then he’s absolutely OK with it.”
