LeBron James, Brittney Griner and Marcus Smart
LeBron James has joined the Boston Celtics as they showcase their support to bring back Brittney Griner. In February, Brittney Griner was detained at the Moscow airport as the Russian officials say they found vape cartridges containing hashish oil in her luggage. She now is facing drug smuggling charges which can get her a maximum of 10 years of imprisonment in Russia. Her pre-trial was also postponed and now many believe she is a “political prisoner” held by Russia who will be used for some benefits or a good exchange with the United States of America. WNBA has made several efforts to spread awareness about their star player being wrongfully detained by Russia and now even NBA players and superstars like LeBron James are using their platform to support her and get her out of there as soon as possible.
LeBron James has always been one of the loudest voices whenever he felt it was necessary to stand up for or against something to bring a change. He was a very active participant during the fight against social justice, racial reforms, and police brutality and has always been promoting the Black Lives Matter movement knowing how important it is and how capable he is to use his platforms correctly. Recently, he made it to the NBA headlines as he stood with the Boston Celtics to showcase his support to bring back Brittney Griner who has been wrongfully detained in Russia for more than 100 days.
LeBron James shared a reel on his personal Instagram handle. The reel had Boston Celtics’ Marcus Smart in it wearing a black t-shirt with orange print on it that reads: “WE ARE BG” on the front and had a QR code on the back for a petition to free Brittney Griner with #WEAREBG. Marcus Smart in the video also quoted: “Free BG man. We are here for her. We stand with her.” King James has 123 million-plus followers just on his IG handle, so the support just a share from him can drive-in can surely be an unreal one.

Many are appreciating and praising the efforts of LeBron James to get Brittney Griner back in United States of America. But many fans are also very critical of him because he never made a public statement regarding her or the situation and never used his platform in support of her until the Celtics decided to do everything they can. Many are also comparing him with BG in the situation and replacing them as they believe things would have been different if LeBron James was wrongfully detained for more than 100 days in Russia.
