https://www.si.com/nba/2018/08/04/michael-jordan-statement-lebron-jamesdonald-trump-tweetBy CHARLOTTE CARROLL August 04, 2018
Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan responded to President Donald Trump's tweet that most likely referenced him and LeBron James.
I support LJ," Jordan said in a statement, according to Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania. "Hes doing an amazing job for his community."
Late Friday night, Trump tweeted about James' interview with Don Lemon on CNN.
In the interview, James discusses his I Promise School, a public elementary school that he opened in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. James also talked about social issues and Trump's comments about sports in the past.
In response, Trump tweeted "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!"

..a fact--you dumbass!" Lebron should challenge dumpy-frumpy to a one-on-one for charity--mr bones spurs will stop talking then, or not.

He's still a jerk, and his statement is (on its own) fairly milquetoast. That said, for a guy who is famously known for worrying about his sneaker sales among Republicans, this is way more than he usually takes a stand.
