LeBron responds to the Twit-in-Chief

Post Reply New Topic

NBA superstar and new Los Angeles Laker LeBron James isn't bothered that President Donald Trump recently insulted his intelligence, but he is wondering why the commander in chief bothered to do it in the first place.

"That's like somebody saying I can't play ball," James said in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "That doesn't bother me at all. What bothers me is that he has time to even do that. He has the most powerful job in the world. Like, you really got this much time that you can comment on me?"

James was responding to questions about how Trump insulted him on Twitter following a CNN interview in which the all-star criticized the president for "using sports to kind of divide us." The three-time NBA champion was also promoting a new, public elementary school he was opening in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.
