LeBron James says Brittney Griner's been in captivity for way too long without the U.S. bringing her home, so if he were the WNBA star, he'd question returning to America.
Bron made the comments during a recent taping of "The Shop" ... when the conversation apparently turned to the incarcerated American hoops star.
"Now, how can she feel like America has her back? I would be feeling like, 'Do I even want to go back to America?'"
It's clear LeBron doesn't believe the U.S. is doing nearly enough to bring BG home.
Of course, Griner was arrested in a Russian airport near Moscow in mid-February ... after Russian authorities said they found vape cartridges with cannabis oil in her bag.
Initially, the American public wasn't made aware Griner was arrested ... which was strategic on the part of America. With the Russia-Ukraine war waging, the U.S. knew Griner could be used by Russia to gain leverage against the West.
But, that strategy only worked for a couple of weeks. Eventually, the news got out, and it's been one of the biggest stories since.

A former US diplomat was sentenced to 14 years in Russian prison at the end of June for getting caught with his doctor prescribed half Ounce of weed. But the celebrities think they deserve special treatment
In cases of drug offenses on foreign soil foreign governments are typically tough.
THere are a couple reasons that come to mind about that.
Since this jerk hates America, Please, send this whinney hinney to Russia for good.
black and lesbian, and hates America, so free pass for her-
It's all security theater.
She pled guilty. Not surprising that Russia held her through the trial, but she’ll likely be home soon.
The ultimate in entitlement to expect that we should release a dangerous terrorist or whatever in exchange to spring her from her felony violation in another country.
We’ve had many white, male Americans stuck in such situations for longer than this.
“140 days drug free”
Post of the day!
The great news is that she can only get up to 10 years. Enough time to come back and sire children.
You go girl!
Good point.
Still doing the shuck and jive for his Chinese masters I see. What a tool.
I assume many frequent travelers have a packing checklist: phone charger, foreign phone, razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss....
Why did she not discover the oil when she was checking to see if she packed her essentials?
The Russians will make it ten years—doing the work Americans won’t do.
;-)
She’s got a way to go to catch George Floyd in that department.
she didn’t have our back. why should we have hers?
