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.

What LeBron is doing is not only heartwarming but incalculable in terms of how many children will prevail & even excel that otherwise might not.

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 isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!“

TRUMP IS TRULY A DEPLORABLY DISGUSTING INCOMPETENT RACIST!

if everyone with millions and millions of $$$$$ tucked away in the Caymans or elsewhere would..... nevermind Would be a great boon to-at risk-public school systems...and would put Devos on her rich entitled ear by being more effective than any of her 'plans'. But....

Maybe the best of all time in the NBA. But he is now a laker, and I must hate him.

He's not just a role model for kids, Lebron is also a role model for other athletes as he's raised the bar so high as far as athlete activism goes.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

(Compare to Trump University)

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.

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.

Koch's stash billions in their pockets and buy politicians while a sports hero spends his wealth on community. Perhaps the Koch's need a patriotic roll model besides John Birch.
