His endorsement gives her a boost in OH.

6. An excerpt...

I’m so proud of the more than 1,100 students in my Wheels for Education and Akron I PROMISE Network programs. We’re working on year six now, and my kids have big plans for their futures.

A lot of them didn’t think college was for them, but now I hear they want to become things like doctors and business owners. We even have a future astrophysicist. I can’t wait to see how far these kids can go.

I also tell all my kids how important it is that they give back to the community. Because if basketball has taught me anything, it’s that no one achieves greatness alone. And it takes everyone working together to create real change.

When I look at this year’s presidential race, it’s clear which candidate believes the same thing. Only one person running truly understands the struggles of an Akron child born into poverty. And when I think about the kinds of policies and ideas the kids in my foundation need from our government, the choice is clear.

LeBron James also tweeted the link out to his 33 million twitter followers. It will also run in tomorrow's Akron Beacon Journal; the Journal is the only daily in Akron.

7. this could help bigly with millennials and apoliticals

in an important state like OH, where a superstar like James is a native, Mr. Ohio, essentially.

Northeast Ohio listens to our hometown hero!

11. Ah Crap....

I wanted to sack out early tonight but I don't want to miss the tweet storm! To hell with it, I'll sleep when I'm dead.

12. At the vey least

it may help to drive voter turnout in Ohio.

[triron]

17. He is well

liked in Ohio. Can't hurt

[Jon King]

13. As a Heat fan

who is still sad that he left Miami, hats off to him. He is a man who accomplishes what he sets out to do. This was a big deal for him as he knows he will get a good deal of hate from the other side. Good job LBJ!!

[tribe-time]

14. cheers to you from a cavs fan

[Renew Deal]

15. That's a great endorsement

[George II]

16. BOOM! This is a huge boost in Ohio. I love that guy.

[SaschaHM]

18. I'm waiting for Don the Con's hot 3 a.m. take on this.

It's going to be a disaster.

[tribe-time]

19. if he does LBJ will kick his ass

[Snake Plissken]

20. Many people are saying LeBron is very popular Muslim name in Kenya

and many people are saying nobody has ever seen his birth certificate, now I'm not saying he was one of the 9/11 hijackers but people are talking.

[Lifelong Protester]

21. LeBron was a hero before this!

Now he'd my personal hero!

[George II]

22. Trump has Don King, Clinton has LeBron James. In my mind they are complete opposites....

LeBron James "kills" his opponents on the basketball court. Don King kills his opponents with guns or his jack boots. He shot and killed one man in the back, and stomped another man to death with his boots.

Both, by the way, were born Ohio.

23. Not much for basketball BUT

I do like LaBron. Saw him in the movie Trainwreck and found him to be very charming and a good actor.
