LeBron James took to Twitter on Wednesday to explain that he deleted his “YOU’RE NEXT” tweet because it was being used to “create more hate.”
LeBron James came under intense fire on Wednesday after he posted a pic of a police officer present at the Ma’Khia Bryant shooting with a caption that read, “YOU’RE NEXT.”
James has since deleted the tweet, but a screenshot remains.
Later Wednesday evening, James returned to Twitter to attempt to explain his motivation for deleting the post.
“I’m so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police. I took the tweet down because its being used to create more hate -This isn’t about one officer. it’s about the entire system and they always use our words to create more racism. I am so desperate for more ACCOUNTABILITY,” he wrote.
James would have done well to gather “all of the facts” and educate himself before posting that tweet, given that his grasp on the facts of the case seems to be completely wrong.
As the Washington Times reports:
A body-camera image released by the Columbus Division of Police shortly after the Tuesday shooting indicates that the Los Angeles Lakers star’s interpretation of events may be objectively wrong.
The knife-wielding Ms. Bryant appeared to bear down on another woman in Columbus, Ohio, just as the officer arrived on the scene.
Not only that, James seems to hone in on the fact that the police officer who shot Bryant is white, and Bryant is black. However, he makes no mention that the woman Bryant was attacking was also black. Meaning that the officer used deadly force to save a black woman’s life.
Many Twitter users were dubious of James’ explanation.
The NBA has not said whether James will face any discipline for his tweet.

LeBron James is a halfwit.
“I am so desperate for more ACCOUNTABILITY”
Start in your own back yard, buddy. Start there.
about 10 were killed by police in 2019 james
a whole ten
whites are killed far more by police james
blacks are killing themselves 21 times more than any other racial demographic james
you don’t seem upset about the real problem killing almost all black people, james - OTHER BLACK PEOPLE
I am so desperate for Lebron James to be indicted, tried and convicted for inciting violence and put in prison.
Funny how he doesn’t care or is tired of the 99.99% of the other killings in black on black violence.
You see? He’s a victim, just like Maxine Waters.
He wasn’t stirring up hate, on the contrary - he’s misunderstood! Its others doing that!
Bwahahahahaha!
Seriously?
In basketball if you screw up you say something like “my bad”. He could have gone in that direction. But no he took down the tweet because it was “being used to create more hate” (does that mean it’s ok when he creates hate but we can’t have others creating MORE hate?).
Complete ass clown.
Oh, so the little weenie deleted the text?
Too late. The offended party will see you in court.
P.O.S.
He is a no wit. He deleted it, because he didn’t want people to think he is more of an a$$ hole than he appears to be. Too late. We already know he is a POS, and I am not trying to insult POSs.
And King James fails again.
If it had said “your next,” I would believe he actually sent it.
“This isn’t about one officer”. He literally tweeted a photo of the officer and wrote ‘You’re Next’.
You would think he would be smart enough....oh nevermind. Forgot for a second who I was referring to. I’m sure this will just bolster the Naive Black A$$holes league
Any player who was fined or suspended for criminal behavior has grounds for redress if the NBA doesn't take action against Lebron James.
Lebrain, Chicago awaits your desperation for more ACCOUNTABILITY.
LeBron James is a racist overpaid moron without 2 functioning brain cells. It is criminal that such a person can earn millions of dollars throwing a ball around. I guess he’s lucky he can earn a living as he is bereft of the slightest critical thinking skills. He should keep his stupid nose out of inflaming already tinderbox situations.
