Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed after colliding with Tee Higgins of the Cincinnati Bengals during an NFL game. The 24-year-old player is in critical condition after suffering a cardiac arrest.
LeBron James, who is a huge football fan, was asked about the incident after the Lakers defeated the Hornets. “Obviously I don’t know what happened, I’ve seen the play, but I don’t know exactly what happened,” he said.
“My thoughts and super prayers goes up to the skies above for that kid’s family, for him, for that brotherhood of the NFL and everybody a part of the NFL family. It’s definitely the right call [to suspend the game] by, whoever made that call, Roger Goodell, whoever had the opportunity or the authority to make that call to suspend that.
“The safety of players in all sports is always the most important. It was a terrible thing to see and I wish nothing but the best for that kid, for the city of Buffalo, for the franchise of the Bills and, like I said, for the rest of the NFL too as well and also for the Bengals that was there playing the game.
“I’m a huge fan of NFL, I’m a huge fan of football. You never want to see anything like that happen even in the type of competition they’re playing.”
