Top NBA players don Colin Kaepernick jerseys ahead of Super Bowl LIII
Days before Super Bowl LIII, several prominent NBA players are standing in solidarity with former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant and Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James both donned black Kaepernick jerseys ahead of their games this week as takes have heated up about the blackballed quarterback.
Despite being a competent quarterback and willing to play as a backup, no team has signed Kaepernick since the end of the 2016 season, when he kneeled to protest police brutality and racial injustice during the National Anthem. Kaepernick has an ongoing collusion case against the league and has become a sort of civil rights symbol in the mean time.

Kaepernick shouted out Durant for wearing his #ImWithKap jersey before the Warriors loss on on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Kaepernick promoted the jerseys sold in the style of the 49ers black alternate with reportedly all profits going to support Know Your Rights Camp.
James also wore a similar jersey coming off a plane Friday before their game against the Warriors. Kaepernick additionally posted pictures thanking political activist Angela Davis, Grammy nominated R&B singer Trey Songz, Red Bull 3 Style World Champion DJ J. Espinosa for their support.
