with a promise that he will never just shut up and dribble.
James responded forcefully to Ibrahimovic's stance after the Lakers' 102-93 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. James funds the I Promise School in his native Akron, Ohio. The third-leading scorer in NBA history also backs numerous initiatives pursuing social justice, voting rights and other progressive causes.
Indeed, Ibrahimovic told Canal Plus that “undercover racism” caused the Swedish media and public to treat him with less respect and reverence: “This exists, I am 100% sure, because I am not Andersson or Svensson. If I would be that, trust me, they would defend me even if I would rob a bank.”
KingJames until this loudmouth tells Nike to stop using slave labor on his shoes then I’ll never have any respect for this race pimp. Selective virtue signaling. This guy needs to grow up. Saying “my people” while u hoard billions isn’t embodying MLK.
When was his voice when speaking up against Uighur genocide? China shut him down real good huh?
There's nothing wrong with this, but when you're as out of touch and ignorant as Lebron, it becomes an issue.
Sorry dude, don't give a rats ass what you've got to say. Ur just someone who shoots a ball thru a hoop. Only people who care what u got to say r ur fans. LMFAOAY
who is that idiot to tell LeBron what to do? is he an Authority on the subject or something?
LeBron KingJames... Salute!🖖
LBJ please continue to be an advocate for the marginalized. There is value in your voice.
Mind your business and play basketball. That’s what your paid to do buddy.
If he wasn’t a hypocritical hack then maybe. But you can’t talk about oppression in America and lick China’s b-hole at the same time
Being a basketball player doesn’t mean your voice on politics is more important than anyone else’s
Where was KingJames when dmorey spoke for FreeHongKong ? The King has no clothes.
And herein lies the problem: those gifted at playing a child’s game are granted vast wealth, adulation, and a large platform because they are ‘gifted’ in entertaining. The emphasis put on elevating our court jesters is a massive failing of society...
Team LeBron!
But he is telling another athlete to just shut up and play. Hey Lebron SHUT UP AND PLAY
I love how people think athletes and entertainers should ONLY comment on their profession and should never be allowed to have an opinion on ANYTHING else! What kind of idiotic sense does that make? What's more, the people that want to censor these people scream FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
Money!!
Lol. He actually said 'I speak from an educated brain'... But every word form his mouth convinces me otherwise
Really? Man I just lost so much respect for this guy. 🤦🏻♂️
Hey KingJames “king”? Lol how’s your ego doing? Seems somewhat inflated!! TuckerCarlson IngrahamAngle JesseBWatters JudgeJeanine greggutfeld RepMattGaetz RandPaul DanCrenshawTX dbongino bennyjohnson benshapiro
The Ugyurs would like a word, selectively outraged hypocrite...
If an actor can become a President Ronald Reagan, why not a sportsman like King James with his popularity and flair.
Zlatan should go back to Eastern Europe because he is kept out of politics by his pocket book!
Politic is same as basic necessities w/o which you’re surrounded by econ., social,&political injustice. In other words, let your life ruled by corrupt power. KingJames Ibra_official latimes nytimes Reuters EmanuelMacrn PSG_Sverige BBC acmilan PSG_inside GretaThunberg
Telling a champion human being to stay in his lane is repulsive.
LeBron: “Yes we do have free speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that too.” His reaction to protests of the NBA doing business with China while they abused Hong Kong civilians. Google it. Let’s give our kids real people to idolize, not the popular/rich.
Sure would be nice if he used some of that money to make American made shoes.
I love how people think if you are in sports or Hollywood you are not allowed an opinion in politics! Why not ?
KingJames lol get off you high horse, you have a high school education and play a sport for $. You’re an entertainer; that’s all. No one cares what you think.
🖕🏿off Zlatan
Ibrahimovic by making the statement he made was commenting on political commentary. Therefore he was making political commentary. Lack of awareness.
LeBron..you are a warrior, on the court and off. We need your voice. Thank you for all you do!
I'm actually surprised by this. In the ultimate team sport Ibrahimovic barely cares about the players on his own team, so why weigh in on a different sport in another country? Stay in your lane Zlatan
Remember when KingJames could have led the nba general strike during the summer when BlackLivesMatter protesters were in the streets fighting for liberation and he and Obama chose Capitalism instead?
Never give up what you know your voice is the platform, I do respect you on this...keep ya head up bruh 😎
Its helpful to know what you’re talking about FIRST so that you don’t use your powerful voice and platform to misinform.
Use your powerful voice.
‘Sports and politics dont mix’ they used to say but if there weren’t any sports boycotts against South Africa in ‘70s/‘80s - then apartheid may never have ended. Soccer is one of the most racist sports - in Europe, black players are often called monkeys. Zlatan wrong. LBJ you go!
Another white man telling a black man to shut the fuck up
Freedom of speech
Maybe the politics focus is why LeBron only plays at 40% until the 4Q in most of his games.
SamSmithTweets He has a voice like anyone else. I never got how people think actors or people in sports don't have a say. They pay taxes and live in the US Just like they do (some do). Why wouldn't they have a say. Look at Ronald Ragan, Clint Eastwood and others. Some are very smart
What is your definition of Racist? Lebron does not like non-blacks. Therefore, he is Racist. Period!
I don’t care what LeBronJames thinks
Hey Lebron, don’t speak for all Americans on your behalf we don’t agree with your politics!
Just trow the damn ball!
LBJ became an awesome, intelligent and activist member of our country. I'll bet only 7% of our population know what he's doing for disadvantaged young men and women. THIS is the American empathy that HAD US the envy of the world. It's called EMPATHY
Thank you, LeBron. 💙
What about China and the Uygers? followthebenjamins.
why doesn't he cast light on the atrocities in China? oh wait because it would hurt his check book.... what about child labor making nikes in Singapore? oh wait it would hurt his bank account- spare me the bs outrage.
Keep up the good work Landon, you have influence and it matters!
I think he overestimates his platform. Positions on Issues are more important to my vote. Not the opinions of a self proclaimed king.
That's the problem. The platform your on was not meant for political activism. Or when you were drafted did they ask you your politics? No....then dribble.
Ibra_official is engaging in politics by engaging KingJames. Don’t forget too about Zlatan’s background. A son of immigrants from the former Yugoslavia, Zlatan knows pretty well what it means to belong to a minority group. His is a story about the minority Muslim Bosnians.
So insulting, Ibra_official!
It is powerful, whatever you say, smart folks do the opposite
'I understand how powerful this platform and my voice is' - sounds like an admission of guilt by the Kang; he is using undue influence to control the uneducated or uninitiated
If anyone should for once stfu it’s Ibra_official.
Hopefully LeBron will one day run for office & bc the 1st former NBA player be POTUS. Wouldn't that be something. I think he would win. Nothing beats a failure but a try. & There's a 1st time for everything! He is the best in his sport. Maybe he'll be best in his next life 😜!!
😂😂😂😂😂 where are the black rights groups and uproar? What happened to the MSM and BLM narrative that were before and during the election? Did the blacks lives improve after being used by the establishment and dnc ? Were their neighborhoods repaire after the riots? 😂😂😂
Tl;dr: Zlatan is a racist.
UighurGenocide
This chump lebron ain’t anywhere near the level zlatan is
He can say all he wants. Dosnt mean he knows anything other then basketball
As he keeps quiet about the human rights violations in China...
I'd rather marry an FBI agent just for that fact she would have a job to do protect
What are lebron's views on Hong Kong? He has sick handles for his size, so we should respect his opinion on world affairs. Lol
Who is this Zlatan and why would anyone care about his opinion?
Who's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and what has he done outside the football pitch? Lebron couldn't have wasted his time responding to that serial clout chaser
👇🏻
Ibrahimovic is right The truth if bitter
Lechina talking again 🙄
