UPDATE6:41 PM PT -- LeBron is following up on his comment regarding Griner ... saying it wasn't meant to "knock" America, but an attempt at understanding how she's feeling throughout her incarceration. "My comments on 'The Shop' regarding Brittney Griner wasn’t knocking our beautiful country," LeBron tweeted minutes ago. "I was simply saying how she’s probably feeling emotionally along with so many other emotions, thoughts, etc inside that cage she’s been in for over 100+ days!" "Long story short #BringHerHome" 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?'"

I don’t buy this non-apology apology at all.

He hates the U.S. and is just trying to mitigate the blowback on his statement.

I cannot understand why anyone other than her “wife” or family feel that Griner needs to be “brought home”. She’s not a political prisoner. She’s not working for the government. She was busted in a foreign country for a crime that our own TSA apparently didn’t notice.

Imagine the utter lack of awareness that any maroon would be endowed with to not anticipate said backlash.

That’s a good sign that the di@khead had to walk it back so fast. A wave is brewing in this country.

Lebron spray painted his garage and called his neighbors racists. He’s the racist and his hate America rantings are tried.

That breast does not look like it has had surgery to cut it off like in a trans surgery

so either griner has no boobs or she is a man or maybe she is a mixed gender DNA person

I think his friends at Klutch Sports made him do that “clarification.”
