Fans around the world have shown compassion for what she has been going through. Similar to Boosie Badazz, LeBron James showed his frustration towards the U.S. government for not taking the necessary steps to bring her back. And this was before the court sentenced her to 9 years.

The Lakers superstar said that Griner could feel the country doesn’t have her back. He also said that if it was him, he would be wondering whether he even wants to come back to the country. However, after facing a lot of backlash for his comments, James clarified that he wasn’t knocking the country.
