James was not at home at the time of the incident, according to TMZ.
"I look at it at like this," James furthered. "If this is the shed of light to continue to keep the conversation going on my behalf, then I'm okay with it.
"Hate in America, especially for African Americans, is living every day."
The 32-year-old forward said in the press conference that his family is safe. Investigators are looking at security footage from neighbors which may shed some clues on the suspect.
James and his Cleveland Cavaliers kick off the NBA Finals Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. James is looking for his fourth NBA championship.
