There is less than one week until the 2020 presidential election and athletes from leagues across the country are using their platforms to share their political views and encourage their fans to vote.
On August 26, the day that the Milwaukee Bucks decided to walkout of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals in protest of the police shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin,"Milwaukee was playing Orlando that day and then I believe OKC and Houston for the next game and then our game was the last game I think it was just us verse Portland." James said on the show.
"It was close to midnight when CP called with LeBron, Carmelo and I think Westbrook was on the phone," said Obama."The conversation we had was along the lines of what LeBron spoke about. Protest is useful in terms of raising awareness, but given the power that NBA players had, my suggestion was you use that platform to see if you can start asking for specifics."
With nationwide protests after the murder of George Floyd, Carter and James discussed how the country seems as though it took a few steps back in terms of racial equality and the frustration within the Black community.
Joe won’t last 5 months in office. You Biden folks need to wake up!

There is one positive if Biden wins. He will finally get rid the monkey of his back.
When is lebron and Obama going to talk the real problem in black communities, gang wars. The shooting of innocent black lives every night. 🤷🏻♂️ I guess those black lives don’t matter

I stopped watching NBA precisely because of LeBronJames the 🤡 I don’t care about his nonessential skills at a kid’s game. KingJames has damaged the reputation of basketball for a very long time

Trump did more for black folk then this sellout has ever done for black folk! trump2020.
When high profile black men were ready to take a stance and protest against the nonstop murder of black men, women and children in this country, Obama sided with his corporate friends and said, LeBron don’t. Just ignore the problem and speak useless platitudes like I do.
Poor Obama, he busted the Democratic Party and now, he wants to to bust his VP..
Wow the dems mail ins must have been really bad, the Dems and media are panicking! Free thinkers don’t support puppets!
