He's got a mission, a goal. My guess - have enough cash to pay the property taxes.

[HighSierra5]

Maybe the Chinese characters don’t fit vertically on his jersey.

Mr. James, I recognize you for your assumed elitist privilege.

Just go dribble until you dribble your spittle.

LeBron is a businessman first and foremost. He knows what’s good for business and for his brand.

Like Michael Jordan one said when asked why he didn’t get into politics, “Republicans buy my shoes, too.”

[Major Matt Mason]

LeBron is no MJ, in any way.

“Hmmm... None of these messages suit me. They don’t resonate with my spirit. They don’t strike the right chord in my soul. They don’t have that ‘je ne sais quoi’ that I’m looking for. Nah.”

[wardamneagle]

NBA is over. NFL is close to over. I now the Golf Channel
# on my remote. And that's scary.

[libertylover]

I guess that’s systemic racism?

[Rastus]

I thought his was gonna say, “Momma, give me another Hummer!”

[KarlInOhio]

Let me guess, “Free Hong Kong”, “Release the imprisoned Uighurs” and “Xi is Pooh Bear” are not on the list.

[americas.best.days...]

LeBron is good at making money and baskets.

He sucks at making mission statements. I couldn’t understand what the mission statement was,exactly.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

LeBron is no MJ, in any way.

Fans loved Bird and Magic. Everyone loved MJ. People love Steph Curry. Lebron James is not loved - just something about him - and it tears him up inside.

[Chgogal]

Bingo!

I am never going to watch professional sports (except hockey-they haven’t annoyed me, yet) again.

[ealgeone]

Like Michael Jordan one said when asked why he didn’t get into politics, “Republicans buy my shoes, too.”

Not this conservative Republican!

[Arcadian Empire]

I will never watch professional football or basketball again.

too bad he dont sport “FREE HONG KONG”

*****

THIS.

The nba lost whatever credibility it had when they fell silent on this one.
