NBA superstars LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors support Colin Kaepernick's decision to kneel in protest, but they plan to stand during the national anthem before games.Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers' backup quarterback, said last week he has received death threats for kneeling during the national anthem prior to NFL games in his protest of what he calls racial inequalities and injustices taking place in America, including fatal police shootings.James, who has been outspoken on social issues, said Monday he intends to stand while "The Star-Spangled Banner" is played."I'm all in favor of anyone athlete or non-athlete being able to express what they believe in in a peaceful manner and that's exactly what Colin Kaepernick is doing and I respect that," James said during Cavs' media day as the defending champions get ready to open training for the 2016-17 season."I think you guys know when I'm passionate about something I'll speak up on it, so me standing for the national anthem is something I will do, that's who I am, that's what I believe in. But that doesn't mean I don't respect and don't agree with what Colin Kaepernick is doing. You have the right to voice your opinion, stand for your opinion and he's doing it in the most peaceful way I've ever seen someone do something."I don't have the answer. None of us have the answer, but the more times we can talk about it, the more times we can conversate about it. Because I'm not up here saying all police are bad because they're not. I'm not up here saying that all kids are great and all adults are great, because they're not. But at the same time all lives do matter. It's not black or white, it's not that. It's everyone, so, it's just tough being a parent right now when you have a pre-teen."James, a father of three, is troubled by repeated videos of police shootings, saying he has fears for his own 12-year-old son, LeBron Jr."You see these videos that continue to come out, it's a (scary) situation that if my son calls me and said if he got pulled over, that I'm not that confident that things are gonna go well and my son is going to return home," James said. "My son just started the sixth grade."Curry also said he plans to stand during the national anthem and talked about the recent events in the country, including in Charlotte, N.C., where a police shooting of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott last week sparked outrage and violent protests."I respect everybody's voice, everybody's platform," Curry said. "About Charlotte, it's another opportunity for people to use their voice. You don't want it to ever turn violent."Speaking of Kaepernick, Curry said: "He took a bold step to continue the conversation and make it more poignant, but I do plan on standing."Another NBA superstar, Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks, believes social injustice is "actually getting worse and it will continue to get worse."Anthony took the stage at the 2016 ESPYs, along with fellow All-Stars Chris Paul, Dwayne Wade and James, and said, "We cannot ignore the realities of the current state of America.""We want to do it in the right way," Anthony said Monday at media day of any plans the Knicks have to raise awareness. "Whatever we do, we want to do it as a collective group. I don't know what that is yet. We'll figure that out. But we want to do it all together. We want everybody to feel a part of it."We want everybody to have a right to make their own decisions about what they want to do. And we'll go from there. Everybody sees what's going on out there in the sports world and what everybody is talking about." Anthony did not discuss Kaepernick but said he wants a unified message for the Knicks."For me it's not about one single gesture," said Anthony, who won a third Olympic gold medal this summer with Team USA. "If the guys want to create a gesture or figure it out, we'll figure it out. We will address those issues."My goal is to keep the conversation moving, the conversation going. Talking to the right people, getting in front of the right people, making a stand for kind of what we believe in -- whether you're black, white, indifferent. I think it's for everybody to come on board and figure everything out."
