LeBron James victim of hate crime, has home vandalized

Cleveland Cavaliers v Boston Celtics - Game Five

With roughly 24 hours until Game 1 of the NBA Finals is set to tip off, all eyes are on the Cavs and Warriors as the two will square off on basketball’s biggest stage for the third consecutive time.

Vandals showed up to his Los Angeles mansion, and spray-painted the N-word on his front gate, with police responding to a call about it early Wednesday morning. Detectives are investigating further, and are proceeding as if it were a hate crime.

James, obviously, was not at the house during the time of the vandalism, but did have this to say:

There are some terrible people in this world, and this was just another reminder of that.
