When LeBron sat down to talk to the media Sunday, reporters wanted to talk about Draymond Green's flagrant foul.
But that's not what the Cavaliers forward wanted to talk about.
"Before we get started I want to..." he began before taking a brief pause. "My condolences goes [sic] out to all the lost ones, the families, in a tragic shooting in Orlando," he continued.
"I think it’s another hit for us as Americans and what we have to deal with in our world today and it definitely puts things in perspective on basketball. For myself it’s just a small matter of what reality really is. My prayers to all the lost ones and all the ones that’s recovering from this morning’s tragedy in Orlando."
