LeBron James Says He'd Question Returning To America If He Were Brittney Griner

If he were a basketball player, he would question returning to America if he were the player.

During a recent taping of "The Shop", the conversation turned to an American basketball player in prison.

How can she feel that America is behind her? I would be wondering if I want to return to America.

He doesn't believe the U.S. is doing enough.

She was arrested in a Russian airport in February after Russian authorities said they found cannabis oil in her bag.

The American public wasn't made aware of the arrest until after it had happened. The U.S. was aware that Russia could use Griner to gain leverage against the West.

The strategy only worked for a short time. It has been one of the biggest stories since the news came out.

It has been covered in America and around the world.

The wife of a man spoke with the President and Vice President.

"The Shop" appears to have been filmed before Cherelle spoke to the president.

Biden sent a letter to her.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has a lot of questions for her.

The Secretary of State has been in touch with the family. Colin Allred, a congressman from the U.S., has spent a lot of time trying to get the attention of the justice system.

Everyone from fellow athletes to regular people have prayed for her safe return.

Supporters of other prisoners locked up abroad have been upset by how hard the U.S. government has tried to get them back, while other families believe the same level of effort isn't being paid to their loved ones.

It looks like nothing will happen soon for her release.

After spending months in a Russian jail, she appeared before a judge and said she wanted to plead guilty to the drug charge.

The person has not been sentenced. She could be in prison for a long time.

On Friday, the full "The Shop" episode will be aired.
