And MSNBC’s Joy Reid thinks that puts James in the pantheon of great sports heroes like … The Greatest:
Prof. Moore on @MSNBC right now making a great point: we are re-entering an age of hero athletes incl @KingJames, who he called today's Ali.

.@Kaepernick7 @StephenCurry30 @kingjames and all the pro & college players and coaches stepping forward for BLM are indeed heirs to Ali.

Ali risked actual prison time. JFC…

Ali was stripped of his belt and livelihood and could have been imprisoned.
