Alright, hoop heads, let’s dive into the wild world of LeBron James and his latest social media slam dunk.
LeBron’s Presidential Pick
LeBron James, never one to shy away from sharing his thoughts, has once again taken to social media to make his political stance crystal clear. As the election heats up, LeBron’s throwing his weight behind Kamala Harris for President. “The choice is clear to me,” he declared, posting a video thatโs stirred up quite the buzz online. This clip doesnโt hold back, featuring some of Trump’s controversial past comments alongside powerful imagery of historical Black struggles.
And if that wasnโt enough to get people talking, the video also includes a snippet from Tony Hinchcliffeโs recent comedy act at a Republican rally, where he made some questionable jokes about Puerto Ricans, Latinos, and Black folks. “Thatโs one of my buddies,” Hinchcliffe quipped, recalling a time they “carved watermelons together.” I mean, really?
What are we even talking about here??ย When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me.ย VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!

LeBron vs. Trump: The Ongoing Saga
This isn’t LeBron’s first rodeo when it comes to political endorsements. Back in 2016, he was all in for Hillary Clinton, and by 2020, he was backing Joe Biden. Remember when he trolled Trump with that meme of him getting blocked by Biden? Classic LeBron. The manโs got a knack for mixing hoops with politics, but not everyoneโs a fan of his crossover moves. Some folks think he should just stick to basketball, but hey, when you’re a four-time champ and playing your 22nd season, youโve earned the right to speak your mind.
Crypto.com Arena’s Boo Heard ‘Round the World
Flashback to last year, when the Lakers were on the brink of history with LeBron chasing Kareem’s scoring record. The team decided to air President Bidenโs State of the Union address on the jumbotron at Crypto.com Arena. But instead of cheers, the crowd erupted in boos. In California, of all places! Guess fans werenโt too thrilled about mixing politics with their basketball. Or maybe they just wanted to see LeBron break that record without any interruptions. Can’t blame ’em, really.
Speaking of records, did you catch that wild Curry rumor? Anyway, back to the story…
Long Speeches and Longer Games
Bidenโs speech clocked in at a whopping 1 hour, 12 minutes, and 40 seconds. That’s like two NBA quarters! It was one of the longest State of the Union addresses in decades, outpaced only by the likes of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. Fans were heard muttering, “We did it, Joe,” and “Stop wasting our time,” as they waited for the real action to resume on the court.
So, what do you think? Is LeBron right to use his platform for political endorsements, or should he keep his focus on the game? Letโs hear it in the comments!
