WASHINGTON (AP) – The “Je Suis Charlie” rally cry is making its way into the NBA.

Washington Wizards forward Kevin Seraphin wore a black T-shirt with the phrase written in white in all caps before Friday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls.

“Je Suis Charlie” – “I Am Charlie” in English – has become a worldwide slogan to show solidarity with Charlie Hebdo, a Paris weekly newspaper where 12 people were killed Wednesday in a terrorist attack.

Seraphin was born in French Guiana and has represented France in international competitions.

Bulls forward Joakim Noah noticed the T-shirt and gave Seraphin an approving chest-tap at midcourt. Noah is the son of French tennis champion Yannick Noah.
