NEW YORK, N.Y. - Magic Johnson praised recent activism by professional athletes on Tuesday and called for more conversation among government, law enforcement and black leaders.The basketball Hall of Famer made his remarks a day after Cleveland star LeBron James and other players wore I Cant Breathe shirts before the Cavaliers 110-88 victory at the Brooklyn Nets.Theyre incredible stars that people will listen to, Johnson said at Michael Jordans restaurant in Grand Central Terminal. Im so happy theyre socially conscious ... and they want to use their platform and their voice.James, Kyrie Irving and four Brooklyn players said they were supporting the family of Eric Garner, who died in July after a New York police officer placed him in a chokehold while trying to arrest him for selling loose, untaxed cigarettes. Kobe Bryant and several of his teammates with the Lakers warmed up in the shirts on Tuesday night.A recording of Garners arrest showed him gasping I cant breathe during the fatal encounter, and thousands have protested a grand jury decision not to indict the officer since the announcement last Wednesday.When youre African-American, you grow up understanding that you can be next, Johnson said. So I think theyre doing it in a peaceful and mindful way.Chicago point guard Derrick Rose wore the same shirt Saturday night before the Bulls hosted the Golden State Warriors. Five St. Louis Rams players trotted onto the field in a Hands up, dont shoot! gesture before a Nov. 30 game against the Oakland Raiders in a show of solidarity for protesters and the family of Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson, Missouri.A grand jury on Nov. 24 declined to indict a police officer in the shooting death of Brown, sparking nationwide protests.The great thing about it is nobody is saying that every police officer is bad, Johnson said. The majority are great and they protect us. They put their lives on the line. And not every young African-American kid is bad, either.Johnson said he didnt have negative experiences with police growing up in Michigan, but my friends had issues and my loved ones had issues. So, youve always been affected, even if it wasnt you directly.Young African-American males, its not just the killing, but also being abused and being incarcerated for not doing something wrong, he said. So weve got to correct that.Johnson, a co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, said beyond the protests, the next step is to find common ground among citizens and police. He would like to see a meeting of community and government leaders early next year.Leaders from all sides, the African-American, law enforcement and government side have to come together and say Hey, how can we make this better for all of us? Johnson said.The three-time NBA MVP attended the Steiner Sports event Tuesday in Grand Central, where there has been recent die-ins to draw attention to fatal encounters with police. Among those in attendance were Mookie Wilson, Larry Johnson, Frank Robinson and Dennis Rodman.Robinson, who won baseballs Triple Crown in 1966 and became the first black manager in the major leagues in 1975, said he didnt participate in the athlete activism during his playing days.I didnt get involved in it, my job was to play baseball, Robinson said, and thats what I did.

Cheap Sneakers From China .com) - Former foes from the Mountain West Conference battle in the 23rd annual Las Vegas Bowl, as the 23rd-ranked Utah Utes clash with the Colorado State Rams at Sam Boyd Stadium on Saturday.Every night of the Stanley Cup playoffs, TSN hockey analyst and former NHL goaltender Jamie McLennan breaks down each goalies performance. Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Carey Price, Montreal Canadiens (5) - He had a huge game, with no better series saver than the paddle save on Milan Lucic in the second period. He had great rebound control all night long, handled the puck well and didnt allow second chances. Price also had big saves on Jarome Iginla, Davif Krejci, Carl Soderberg and Patrice Bergeron. His big save on Bergeron helped turn it around immediately as the Habs scored the same play. He was the best player on the ice for the Habs on Monday night. He had a huge game when it counted, especially in the second when the Bruins pressed hard. Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins (3) - Rask had no chance on the first goal by Lars Eller, as it was caused by a tough turnover early in the game. In the second goal, he wasnt set on Max Paciorettys partial breakaway and allowed a five-hole goal that he should stop. Rask did make great saves on Renee Bourque, Brendan Gallagher, Eller and Tomas Plekanec.dddddddddddd The third goal by Montreal was a scramble play around the net. He was just good on Monday night. He didnt lose them the game, but didnt win it for them like Price did. Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings (2) - Quick guessed on the wrong side on Nick Boninos goal and was screened, with not much help on the back door goal (Mathieu Perreault/Devante Smith-Pelley goal). And Smith-Pelleys secondgoal on a breakaway finished with a nice move. Quick has cooled off in his game since the first two starts of the series. Hell needs to be a difference maker in the next game, as hes just been okay. John Gibson, Anaheim Ducks (4) - Gibson was solid again. He had chance on the Trevor Lewis goal, as it was a deflection off of Bryan Allens arm. He made big saves on Tyler Toffoli and then off Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar in the second on the penalty kill - then a huge left pad save on Gaborik early in the third. Gibsons positioning and rebound control was very strong and he showed good poise again. ' ' '
