In protest of a New York grand jury’s decision not to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo for the choking death of Eric Garner, Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James plans to wear an “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirt before Monday’s game against the Nets in Brooklyn, according to the New York Daily News . Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose wore an “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirt during pregame warm-ups prior to Saturday’s home game against the Golden State Warriors. When asked by the Daily News about his fellow former NBA MVP’s attire, James said, “It was spectacular. I loved it. I’m looking for one.” This isn’t the first time James has taken a stand on racial issues. In 2012, he posted a photo to Instagram of his Miami Heat wearing hooded sweatshirts in solidarity over the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. Last year, James also coordinated Miami’s decision to wear warm-up shirts inside-out in protest of then L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s racist remarks. Following the Ferguson ruling, James posted on his Instagram account a drawing of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin walking arm in arm. “As a society how do we do better and stop things like this happening time after time!! I’m so sorry to these families,” the caption read. “Violence is not the answer people. Retaliation isn’t the solution as well. #PrayersUpToTheFamilies #WeHaveToDoBetter.” Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton are reportedly scheduled to attend Monday’s Cavs-Nets game at the Barclays Center, where protesters staged a die-in on Thursday night, so LeBron’s statement should he find an “I Can’t Breathe” t-shirt in time for the 7:30 p.m. tipoff could have a global reach. Video of the incident shows Garner, an African-American, repeating the phrase, “I can’t breathe,” numerous
