Thank you ‘Heat’, anyone of you could have been Trayvon.

Of all teams in the League, the Heat had the greatest responsibility to step up and be heard. They were Trayvon's favorite and he was killed that late afternoon after leaving his house for a snack during halftime of the NBA All-Star game, which featured the Heat's Big Three, of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh.
Given the depth of this movement, particularly in southern Florida, it's not too surprising that the Heat made this powerful gesture. But maybe it is surprising for many fans to learn that the effort was driven by “The King” himself, LeBron James. The photo was reportedly James's idea and it was first posted to his personal twitter account with the hashtag #WeWantJustice.
James later said, "It was very emotional, an emotional day for all of us. Taking that picture, we're happy that we're able to shed light on the situation that we feel is unjust."
