I applaud him for standing up for Curry don't ever compare Lebron to Bill Russell. Russell fought for the rights of black people. Lebron was letting himself used by Hilary during the election.

Im sure Brad Daugherty or Mark Price would have the same honor if they won a championship for the Cavs.

Lebron was letting himself used by Hilary during the election.I completely understand that Bill is on another level but they are also in completely different eras where the majority of James’ income comes from corporate sponsorship, I’m actually sure that he would be constantly advised against making any political statements, something he usually goes against. If you look at MJ, Kobe, Magic ect. they almost always keep quiet. The ‘decision’ which caused so much hate towards Lebron raised 3 million for charity and none was kept for him, in 2015 his charity raised 41 million for kids to go to college...this from a man in his early 30’s is quite amazing.

It was nothing new. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are providing charities for the poor from the portion of their fight purse and so on.
