Derrick Rose was the first high-profile player to wear the “I Can’t Breathe” t-shirt during pre-game warmups on Saturday night, a nod to the grand jury decision in the Eric Garner case. Tonight, Cavs superstars Kyrie Irving and LeBron James, plus Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett of the Nets, are wearing the same shirt prior to the Cleveland-Brooklyn matchup at the Barclays Center.
