Basketball superstar LeBron James has long been outspoken about politics, famously calling Donald Trump a “bum” and saying: “Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!”

LeBron’s remarks came amid widespread criticism of Trump by NBA players, including Stephen Curry, who declined the traditional White House visit entirely while Trump was president. The two stars’ stances reflected a broader trend of athletes using their platform to speak out against policies they disagreed with and advocate for social justice issues.

James’ comments continue to resonate as part of ongoing debates over athletes engaging in politics, the relationship between sports and government, and how public figures respond to presidential leadership.

LeBron on playing the Grizzlies: “I’m f***ing 41 years of age. You think I want to do sh** in Memphis on a random Thursday? I’m not the first guy in the NBA to talk about this. You guys got to move the team… go over to Nashville already.”
