I suspect not all, but many athletes’ “donations” and “charitable foundations” follow the same path.

That mind that wouldn't have graduated high school if he couldn't dribble?

This is probably my biggest pet peeve with him. Anytime someone sets a milestone or something of the like he never lets them have their moment. He has to be the center of attention and interject himself and make it all about him.

This dude’s ego has ballooned out of control ever since he went to Miami


He was (correctly) hailed as a prodigy in his early teens. His ego was always there & the local in Ohio lapped it up. To this day I have a LeCuck fanboi buddy from Canton who slurps up everything about him...to the point that he was talking shite after the Pelicans lost to the Bucks claiming “Brandon Ingram should’ve kept his mouth shut about LeBron”(when he didn’t mention LeBron at all)

When you’ve got SOFT arse grown men defending you in game you didn’t play in, your ego will be in another stratosphere.

I mean y’all are kinda taking his words out of context. Lebron isn’t saying he’s a rocket scientist. He isn’t even saying he’s smart. He’s just saying he’s educated about what he speaks about. He speaks about racial issues mostly, which you don’t need a degree to be educated about.

He’s educated about what he speaks about like I’m educated about brain surgery ie he’s not educated about it and demonstrates that every time he opens his mouth, very cringeworthy

But he's not. Lebron, like most celebrities and athletes, has only a surface level understanding of any given social issue.

Lebron has more understanding about the black community (which is what he speaks out about) than 99.999999999% of this thread though

There is more to being educated than a formal education

Some of you need to educate yourselves on social issues

"Has an understanding" how? He knows what it's like to be black? To grow up in a black community? That still doesn't make him an expert on the issues that black people face. "Cops are hunting black people" isn't something that any educated person who actually cares about studying an issue would say.

Except that he isn't. At all. He parrots the same lies that CNN and Obama have told him to parrot for the last 8 or so years.

Given who all he supports politically, faked a hate crime, supports China’s record of human rights abuses, incorrectly compared himself to Emmett Till and he supports patently bad examples (Alton Sterling, Jacob Blake, Breonna Taylor, Colin Kaepernick, Michael Brown) to make points about the black community, I do not agree with your conclusion about LeBron’s understanding about the black community, more a misunderstanding
