I am amped....Freaking King James Will Be Appearing With Hillary Tomorrow *

My most favorite(st) persons in the world, beside our president





Prior to Election Day on Tuesday, LeBron James will be campaigning with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in Cleveland on Sunday.

New York Magazinereported the news, one of Clinton's campaign staffers used a GIF of James at the World Series to make the announcement on Twitter and NBC's Bradd Jaffy shared a press release on Friday night.

The presence of the Cleveland Cavaliers star at Clinton's event so close to Nov. 8 could have an impact on which candidate wins Ohio. It's a swing state that's important to Donald Trump, who held the lead in a recent poll. Perhaps James can provide the final push that Clinton needs.

I love you, Hillary. I love you, King James.

to avoid being political.
And, now James is willing to take the backlash, possibly even financial in some lost endorsements, to do what he believes is important.

It's not easy for a top athlete to take a stand like this. All credit to Lebron James for recognizing a cause bigger than himself.

The years go by so fast. It's hard to believe Jordans famous stance was taken almost 30 years ago.

LeBron James responds to Donald Trump's recent comments: 'That's not locker room talk. That's trash talk'

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James became the latest athlete to fire back at Donald Trump over the Republican presidential nominee's recent inflammatory comments.

"What is 'locker room talk' to me? It's not what that guy said," James said Wednesday afternoon following the team's practice. "We don't disrespect women in no shape or fashion in our locker room. That never comes up. Obviously, I got a mother-in-law, a wife, a mom and a daughter and those conversations just don't go on in our locker room."
