(65,076 posts)He does something great like he's doing and gets acknowledge by Michelle O. He deserves the accolades and coming from her has to be pretty great, even for someone as accomplished as LeBron.

Then the god damned shit stain Tweeted this not long ago...
Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isnt easy to do. I like Mike!
TRUMP IS TRULY A DEPLORABLY DISGUSTING INCOMPETENT RACIST!

(53,791 posts)Good chance the Celtics will make the finals but it'll be a while before we get another classic Lakers v Celtics final as the Lakers have a ways to go.
Too many good teams in front of them.

(12,504 posts)I would take a printout of this tweet/meme and shove it right in the face of that racist POS Laura Ingraham and remind her what a low life slime ball she is for telling this man to shut up and dribble.
Lebron is a class act.
She should just snuggle under the sheets with her scumbag ex-bedmate Dinesh D'Souza and STFU.

(58,670 posts)they don't necessarily get this kind of press, because they prefer the low profile.
I'm kind of down on some of the sweeping generalities being spread around here.

(13,190 posts)The cameras follow LeBron 24-7 now. So whatever his intentions were in regards to publicity, it would have been big news.

(2,312 posts)That is what true Americans do when they are fortunate enough to earn a fortune. They spread the wealth and provide opportunity for others.

(964 posts)How is it that a single sports personality can do so much for the community, that paid government officials cannot even come close to providing? Our government is broken. LeBron is amazing. He's showing us what we can accomplish with limited resources, as compared to the gov't, in the best way.

(62,423 posts)gave LeBron an escape from his terrible neighborhood. That was so important to him as a youngster that a bike is one thing he insists that all the kids have.
There is a lot to admire about LeBron James and as much as it hurts to say this I hope he brings some championships to LA.
And I hope someday he runs for public office.
