To cleanse the palate, I think he means “education” in terms of civic education, i.e. familiarity with policy and the candidates’ backgrounds, not grade-level achieved. It’d be weird if he didn’t since James himself famously skipped college after being drafted number one out of high school. Still, how often do you get to watch a mega-star athlete call the voters of his home state ignorant? This’ll be an interesting test to see if there’s anything Ohio’s favorite son can say or do to piss off his fans. Besides committing to play for another team at the end of a one-hour special devoted to his free agency, I mean.
And how the hell has Trump not taunted him yet on Twitter about having won Ohio? Normally he can’t stop talking about how many electoral votes he got last year, and the one time in his life he has a chance to call “scoreboard” on LeBron James, he clams up? For fark’s sake. What did we elect him for if not to ruthlessly troll major cultural figures and world leaders? If only he wasn’t stuck in a Twitter flame war right now with North Korea, he could focus.
The most dubious thing LeBron said, trying to capture the magnitude of the mistake he thinks Ohio made last November:
“You can go back in the history of time of sports and say the same thing because we keep bringing sports and politics into it, so you could look back at some of the greatest drafts of all-time and say that, ‘Okay, did the Trail Blazers make the right choice when they took Sam Bowie?’
I know he’s not suggesting that Hillary Clinton is the Michael Jordan of politics. If anything, she’s the Fred Brown of politics.
Watch to the end and you’ll see him say that he’s not inclined to participate in any anthem protests himself when the NBA season begins, preferring to pursue activism (mostly) off the court. (James is famously generous in his charitable endeavors.) But when asked elsewhere if he thinks there’ll be demonstrations by other players, he says he wouldn’t be surprised. The “take a knee” thing may be just getting started. Good news for Trump.
Another bitter clingers to their guns and Bible moment from another ignorant black man.
Go off yourself, James.
One look at James and they voted for the opposite.
Smart move, Ohio.
Right and all the highly educated blacks voted for Hillary they are so smart they gave her 87% of their vote.
Wow we are watching Trump-triggered pro athletes, coaches, and owners literally self destruct before our eyes.
This level of stupidity is beyond anything I would have imagined.
What was he just saying about a "lack of education?"
So says the idiot who went straight into the NBA from high school.

NO, get with the program, he means Indoctrination.
Dear Lebaron: STFU you sub-literate moron.
On Why Lebron James Is a Multi-millionaire: Education Doesn’t Matter
Just sit back and watch the fireworks.
Is this thug’s IQ anywhere near 90?
Make every dem politician weigh in on this issue, now! Do you Democrat politicians agree with Le’brawn? Yes or no?
Maybe it’s his lack of education that fuels his opposition to Trump.
That LeBron is a real intellectual powerhouse.
One of the methods that an pretender-to-be-intellectual will use is that you are not as smart as he is...that you are not exactly clever or capable or thinking in the fine method that they’ve developed.
This is usually the first sign that you can associate with stupidity. They might have attended some college....gotten a degree...maybe even a PhD. But they are unable to comprehend people thinking outside of their designed bubble.
In this way, they’ve isolated themselves from society. They can’t survive unless they hang out with the same type friends...the same type culture.
In this case, James has a problem because as he goes into arenas and people start yelling Trump at him...he’ll lose his composure and start to screw up. He’s given opposing fans a method of downsizing his performance.
A man with little education telling others they lack education? Labron is a meathead.
Lots of ‘education’ THERE!
