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.

Who is Joy Reid?
A nobody on msdnc. I think.
Another Gaseous Cassius?
Just what we don’t need.
I’m thinking the end stage Muhummad Ali, after the ravages of Parkinsons took their toll. That may be Lebron’s fate in the future if he dares to make China mad.
Never heard of A JOY (?) Reid— does it grow in a swamp???
Nutty Joy calls everybody something. She’s a moron. She probably doesn’t have a clue who Muhammad Al is.
Are we allowed to point out that Ali was a life long member of racial hate group?
Clay didn’t join the Muslims until he needed a doge for getting out of serving his nation in uniform.
“leebrown jimmy”, sportsball hero.
It should be pointed out.
Re: Muhammad Ali; I have read articles say that President Trump had a long and close friendship with Muhammad, going back some 35 years. I’m sure Mr. Trump knew he would not be invited to the funeral or memorial service. So many Dems made it a second career just to express how much they hated The Donald. Still, it must have hurt the president being left out. Trump has had long friendships with many Sports champions.
At least Ali was prepared to go to jail for his beliefs. LeBron wouldn’t give up his homes, cars, investments for other blacks for his beliefs.
LeBron is a self centered overpaid thug. UGH!
I liked Michael Jordan.
Oh, yeah, LeBrawndo, the civil rights hero of the Uighurs!
LeBrawndo be all up in Xi Jin Ping’s face ‘bout da Uighurs.
Oh, wait, he can’t cuz contracks an’ stuff.
Yeah, LeBron is down with the struggle of Muslim Uighurs in China.
[[Who is Joy Reid?[[
Today’s Pee wee Herman
[[She’s a moron. She probably doesn’t have a clue who Muhammad Al is.]]
Come On- that’s’ not fair- she knows that he was that Russian chess player
Muhammad Al...? Ha-haaaaa! Great typo!
Ali just got clobbered by Joe Frazier's left hook.
