Flashback: LeBron Says He’ll Speak out on Social Issues Even if It Hurts His Popularity

‘But at the end of the day, my truth to so many different kids and so many different people was broader than me personally’

EXCERPT:

JAMES: "I want the satisfaction. Not for myself, but for everybody else. I was raised off of Snoop and [Tupac] and [Jay-Z] and Biggie [Smalls], and now I get an opportunity to be the inspiration around what all of these kids are looking up to? And for me to just sit back and not say s**t when a lot of my peers didn’t say s**t? It didn’t feel right. … At the end of the day, when I decided I was going to start speaking up and not giving a f**k about the backlash or if it affects me, my whole mindset was it's not about me.”
