Support in the NBA

LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and many Brooklyn players wore “I can't breathe” shirts while they warmed up for Monday night's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Nets.

Inside the center, Cleveland Cavaliers' James and Kyrie Irving were among the players wearing T-shirts that said “I can't breathe” —Garner's last words, which have become a rallying cry for protesters since last week's grand jury decision.

“It was a message to the family. That I'm sorry for their loss, sorry to his wife. That's what it's about,” James said after the Cavaliers' 110-88 victory. “I think everybody else gets caught up in everything else besides who's really feeling it, and that's the family. That's what it's about.”

Really, James? Take the shirt off. Put on one that says, "I'm sorry for your loss."
