“...unhinged.”
You are pretty much correct. Over the past decade, he’s wandered around and pretended that he was politically correct on all issues. So now, he’s finally walked into a ‘mine-field’ where he can’t say anything without looking non-politically correct.
He probably has his agent, his publicist, a personal lawyer, a NBA political adviser....all talking to him daily about what to say or avoid.
If you ask me...it’s time for James to retire.
The Dems behind closed doors are grooming him to make a run for the WH.
