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!

(94 posts)It's now a weirdo Trumpy base thing to deride LeBron James as not as good as Michael Jordan, because they hate Lebron James or something. These people are mentally unstable morons. Obviously, there are good, sports-based arguments to be made about who is the Greatest of All Time (the GOAT, as the kiddies say). But the Trump Cult has fully adopted a Jordan position because LeBron keeps owning Trump and calling him out on his foolishness. That's why Trump is commenting now, because LeBron said he wouldn't even sit across from his fool ass. So, "I like Mike" means "Michael Jordan was better than LeBron James," which is supposed to hurt some people or something. Who knows what childish nonsense the Trumpies get up to. Better to be Lebron, do good works and not sit across from shitheels.

(13,191 posts)He's in the conversation no doubt - I'm not slamming him.
But he never said boo on any subject - ever. "Republicans buy shoes too" was his most political statement.
They all figure that praising a black man inoculates them from accusations of being as racist as they actually are - so Mike is the NBA equivalent of their imaginary black friend.

(13,191 posts)I'm talking about being upfront and public about topics that Trumpers don't want to hear about.
Mike wasn't that guy

(27,995 posts)LeBron James is a hero! His school will help underprivileged kids and he didn't put his name on it.
Remember "Trump University"? The school where they committed fraud and stole peoples' money?
Also why is he watching CNN?

JAMES: I would never sit across from him.
LEMON: You would never, you don't want to talk to him?
JAMES: No. I'd sit across from Barack, though.

He's dumber than even W and he's calling two black people dumb.
What a racist fuck.

(14,565 posts)Lebron was matter of factly dismissive of Trump just like Don Lemon always is. Lemon eventually asked Lebron if he would run for president against Trump. Lebron initially said no, but when Lemon pushed it with the qualifier, "if the Democrats didn't have anybody else who could win," Lebron laughed and was incredulous toward how that could be possible. I knew Trump would be steaming at that point. I was loving it. Then Lebron said he would run in that instance, "but let's wait and see."

Of course, I'd love to be in the same category as Maxine Waters, LeBron James and woke Don Lemon.

(2,313 posts)But I don't think there are a whole lot of NBA fans among Trump's base. Without the NFL, they're pretty much down to NASCAR and pro wrestling.
