Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James blamed this week's mob violence at the U.S. Capitol on President Donald Trump and questioned what would have happened had the rioters been Black.
"We live in two Americas," James said after Thursday night's loss at home against the San Antonio Spurs, one day after the unrest in the nation's capital.
"And that was a prime example of that yesterday, and if you don't understand that or don't see that after seeing what you saw yesterday, then you really need to take a step back — not even just one step, but maybe four or five, or even 10 steps backwards and ask yourself how do you want your kids, or how do you want your grandkids, or how do we want America to be viewed as? Do we want to live in this beautiful country?"
