Source: CBS News
NBA stars LeBron James and J.R. Smith of the Cleveland Cavaliers hit the trail with Hillary Clinton Sunday, rounding out a star-studded weekend for the Democratic nominees efforts in crucial battleground states.
James and Smith both took the stage ahead of Clinton in Cleveland, where the former secretary of state held a massive get-out-the-vote rally with a crowd of approximately 4,000 people.
The number one main reason im here is because of Hillary and what she believes in, James said Sunday, before talking about his childhood experiences in the inner city.

we have to get out and be knowledgeable about whats going on.
