MSNBC host Joy Reid has declared NBA star LeBron James to be “today’s equivalent of Muhammad Ali,” in recognition of his social justice activism.
Reid took to Twitter to lionize the billionaire basketball player and put him on par with Ali, a man who truly fought for civil rights. But to make her tweet even more absurd, she added a clip of fictional superhero Black Panther to it, apparently sending the signal that James is a “hero.”
“‘ll say it again. LeBron James is today’s Muhammad Ali and Bill Russell, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Glad he has that platform. Keep speaking, @KingJames,” Reid tweeted on Saturday.

I think we can all agree that Bill Russell would never wear a neck beard.
Is LeYuan still signing autographs for his cardboard fans?
C’mon man! Down goes Frazier! - Howard Cosell
Does he have electrolytes?
Frazier knocked Ali flat on his back in the 15th round pf their first fight. Frazier also knocked Ali down in the 11th round of that fight, with the referee calling it {falsely] a slip.
Ali fought Frazier three times and NEVER knocked Frazier down.
George Foreman knocked Frazier down to win the title from Frazier, but Ali never did.
Your vile Howard CoSELL was a shill whose job it was to sell the leftwing media product Ali.
CoSELL was as incompetent and poisonous as any leftwing puppet such as Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Ezra Klein, Christiane Amanpour, Paul Krugman etc.
It is disgusting to observe the clueless swallow the lefty media's pathetic 'bait and switch' and actually parrot their lies out further.
Sorry, I should’ve been more specific. I knew that. People used to say that to me all the time since that is my name. I liked Joe.
So which draft did lebron dodge?
You betcha! Plants love LeBrawndo. :)
An inspired epithet!
