LeBron James post-game interview: Lakers star stresses on '2 Americas' point 

Speaking after Los Angeles Laker's defeat to the San Antonio Spurs, LeBron James launched a scathing criticism on the supporters who stormed into the US Capitol on Wednesday. The 35-year-old said, “We live in two Americas and that was a prime example of that yesterday. If you don’t understand or see that then you need to take a step back. Not just one step but four or five or even 10 steps backwards". The NBA Finals MVP added, “How do you want your kids or grandkids to live in this beautiful country? Because yesterday was not it. I couldn’t help but wonder if those were my kind storming the Capitol what would have been the outcome. We all know what would have happened if anyone even got close let alone storm or get in the offices".

James said he wants people to understand what athletes and black people are saying when quizzed about the messaging on his t-shirt. The 35-year-old said that blacks in America don't get respect and don't get anything back for the service to their country except a slap in the face.

LeBron James believes that the events at the US Capitol were a direct correlation of what Donald Trump represents. The Lakers star said that America is supposed to set an example for others but looked like a third, fourth or a fifth-world country. The 35-year-old cited the entire incident as 'shameful' and 'embarrassing'. James has always been a vocal critic of Trump and believes that the former US President doesn't care about anyone but himself. Players and coaches from both teams locked arms in a circle at midcourt during the national anthem before Thursday’s game at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.
