President Donald Trump said Friday that he rates former basketball star Michael Jordan over LeBron James, suggesting that the latter was "maybe a racist."
The president's comments come after it was reported earlier Friday that the 41-year-old sports star James has signed a two-year $8 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, marking the fourth team in his career.
Trump was asked where he stands on LeBron versus Michael Jordan as the best basketball player ever during an unrelated announcement in the Oval Office, to which the president stated that he "only like[s] people who like me."
“Michael Jordan’s a guy that’s a friend of mine. I golf with him. He’s a really good guy,” Trump said. “I think LeBron is maybe he’s a racist, but maybe he doesn’t like Trump. I don’t know. I only like people that like me, so I would say Michael Jordan all the way."
The comment is not a surprise given James' criticism of the president. James said in 2018 that Trump does not care about Americans and that the words that come from Trump's mouth are "laughable" and "scary."

LET’S GO SIXERS! Still love Trump.
That’s just silly.
Everybody knows that it’s impossible for a black person to be a racist. /s
“Recency Bias” causes people today to argue about who was the greatest of all time: Michael Jordan or Lebron James.
However, the correct answer is Wilt Chamberlain.
Pretty damn funny for a man who is a racist, thinks racist, but gladly extends his hand to accept money/contract do eagerly from the ones he calls racist.
To me, that makes him look just like Stephen in that Django movie.
He’s not wrong about lebrainless.
Total racist muzzie.
Lebron James said of his youth “it took me a while to adjust to white people”.....
Imagine if any white person said, “it took me a while to adjust to blacks”....
Why is Trump helping LeBron by giving him even more attention that he is already getting?
Are you depressed the Sixers signed LeBron?
I am not a fan of LeBron James, but he has not remotely been connected to Islam. He is Christian, and his mother is a minister. Neither of us may agree with his Christian beliefs, but sadly, we are probably in the minority.
His Chinese masters would prefer he is atheist, and maybe he is in some ways.
In his heart, his faith is probably Flopology.
I got kicked off Twitter for making fun of LeeBrown Jimmy the racist years ago.
What a floppin’ clown.
Im glad that LeDouche is gone from the Lakers, took a crapload of money and did NOTHING here, 2020 was a fluke due to covid, they were playing in a bubble so if it had been a regular season who knows what might have happened..so he takes a huge paycut and goes to Philly to get himself an easy ring, watch now he will get all the calls in his favor
LeBron had a house in Calabasas, cant get more white than that
LeBron IS a racist... By his own admission.
LeBron said “I don’t have no white friends... I don’t want no white friends” a while back.
No, excited!
LeBron’s mouth often gets too far ahead of his brain.
Sometimes, they never do catch up to each other before he finishes with his latest ‘thots’.
Trump gives LBJ more publicity. He doesn’t get nearly enough.
I don’t care what Trump thinks about sports figures.
