The Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James faced continued backlash over his response to deleting a tweet he posted that included a photograph of a police officer that saved a black girl from being stabbed and said, “YOU’RE NEXT,” with an hourglass emoji.
The tweet sparked widespread pushback against the NBA star with many claiming that he was putting a target on the back of the police officer. Backlash was so severe that James deleted the tweet shortly after posting it, but not before tens of thousands of people slammed him online, including many notable figures.
