LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - A small number of protesters carrying signs and shouting into megaphones blocked at least two buses chartered by the NBA.

After entering the Walt Disney World campus on Saturday night, the groups said they wanted LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and other top players to take notice.

The group blocked charter buses carrying members of the news media and some NBA staff, but no players or team personnel. Among their chants: “Black Lives Matter” and “LeBron can you help us?” Some also carried signs with messages such as “Russell Stand With Us.”
