LeBron James and Stephen Jackson share powerful conversation following death of George Floyd

Former basketball player Stephen Jackson has revealed his conversation with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James on Monday. The conversation the two shared was after Jackson gave a passionate speech about late George Floyd. Speaking to ESPN, Jackson said: "LeBron posted me speaking, and I texted him back, I said, ‘I appreciate you, bro, I won’t let you down'. “He texted me back, ‘You haven’t and I won’t either.’ That was deep. I always tell people, [Michael] Jordan might be the best basketball player ever, but LeBron is the greatest athlete ever. It’s bigger than basketball with me why I love LeBron."

“And the main reason why I love LeBron, I’m going to tell you this because a lot of people don’t say this. As athletes, there’s a million people that came through the NBA that come with they homeboys and try to put they homeboys in position to win. Nobody got it right but LeBron. “Every basketball player that came through with their friends, including me, that come with their entourage, everybody get it wrong,” Jackson added. “LeBron the first to get it right. Look at his boys. So, I got to salute him for that.” source - FoxNews.com
