James Harden's arrival at Disney World, five days late, left no one indifferent throughout the NBA. The Rockets' guard posed for the cameras with a mask with the Thin Blue Line motto and a skull that are often used by protesters against the Black Lives Matter movement .
"Honestly, I wasn't trying to make a political statement. I used it just because it covered my entire face and beard. It's pretty simple," Harden later explained, claiming to ignore the perk of these symbols, used in the United States in defense of the police and law enforcement.
When asked about his opinion on the work of law enforcement officers, the left-hander was more than restrained. "In all professions there are people who do their jobs very well and also inefficient people," he analyzed.
Proud for Houston
As for the behavior of his fellow citizens at the funeral for George Floyd , held in Houston, the Rockets star was more than proud. "The way the city recovered was incredible. The world saw how many people could come together. Obviously, it was for a tragic reason, but the march and everything we represented was very strong."
However, Harden has not yet clarified how he supports the Black Lives Matter movement during his first game with the Rockets, which finished sixth in the Western Conference, with 40 wins in 64 games.
