LOS ANGELES – After helping the Los Angeles Lakers win their last game against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night, LeBron James has become quieter after describing the end-game exploits.

Before the match, James, his teammates and the Atlanta Hawks wore a t-shirt with the inscription "ENOUGH", four days after the shooting in Thousand Oaks, California, where 12 people were killed.

"When I was younger, we did not really have to worry about gun violence," said James, who grew up in Akron, Ohio. "I mean, if you had a problem with someone, you'd get out of it and move on to something else. And now, it's as if people have the impression of not having a problem with someone. They just have a problem with themselves or a problem with the situation they are in.

"This is a very troubling time for everyone. You know, as parents, how can you be comfortable sending your children to school, sending them to church, going to the movies or sending them to the mall? "

Growing up, said James, these activities and participation in sports events were "like a paradise." But it was then. Now? "It's a little scary at this time."

On Saturday at the Staples Center, the Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks wore variants of the same T-shirt, on whose back were the names of the victims.

"I think it's about recognizing what's happening in society and getting closer to the situation and not being too far away, as well as all my prayers and my condolences to all the families who have lost dear ones. …

"I think it goes back to the current gun situation in America, gun violence, people are able to buy guns and do things with them, and innocent lives are being taken. , youth."

James was asked about his reaction after hearing about the shooting mbadacre after 28-year-old American veteran Ian David Long killed 12 people at Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks before killing himself .

"Probably the same thing that went through everyone's mind," he said. "Still … Sensational … what's going on … Probably more explicit terms that I'm not going to say for the moment."
