Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Garnett, Deron Williams, Jarrett Jack and Alan Anderson made a power statement Monday night when they all wore “I Can’t Breathe” shirts during warm-ups before the Cav/Nets game in Brooklyn. The phrase was the last words spoken by Eric Garner before he was killed by a NYC police officer whose non-indictment sparked worldwide protests.
