Los Angeles: NBA stars LeBron James and Stephen Curry voiced support for Colin Kaepernick on Monday but said they had no plans to emulate the San Francisco 49ers quarterback's national anthem protest.
Cleveland Cavaliers icon James, who is regularly outspoken on social issues and gun violence, said he admired Kaepernick's decision to kneel during renditions of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Kaepernick has drawn a firestorm of criticism for his protest against social injustice and racial inequality, with critics branding him unpatriotic or worse for his stance. The quarterback's protest has been taken up by several other athletes from different sports.
