The Lakers, Pelicans, Pacers, and Bucks are currently in Las Vegas as the four teams that’ll compete for the In-Season Tournament crown. However, focusing on basketball can prove to be a challenge after another tragic mass shooting in the USA, this time at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
LeBron James had a passionate response where he criticized the fact that these incidents keep happening and there are no changes in laws to protect innocent lives in public spaces such as schools, markets, and movie theatres.
