LeBron James is back where he belongs, in his ninth NBA Finals in 10 years. Five takeaways from the Lakers' Game 5 win over the Denver Nuggets.
Lakers forward Anthony Davis makes key plays in Saturday night’s clinching win over the Denver Nuggets and finally reaches the NBA’s biggest stage.In many of his news conferences while in the bubble, Nuggets coach Mike Malone has worn a black shirt with white lettering that says, “Justice for Elijah McClain.” He spoke about that Saturday night as he prepared to head home. “I wear this for Elijah McClain’s parents, Sheneen McClain, Lawayne Mosley, all of his family, all of his loved ones.
I think about this case, and the reason I wear this shirt is because, no disrespect to the countless others who have been killed, but this is in our backyard, and I feel a responsibility to bring light to it because I don’t think Elijah McClain’s name is mentioned enough. I don’t think enough people are talking about it. At the end of the day, what we want, the shirt says it all, we want justice.
