LeBron James says Brittney Griner's been in captivity for way too long without the U.S. bringing her home, so if he were the WNBA star, he'd question returning to America.

Bron made the comments during a recent taping of "The Shop" ... when the conversation apparently turned to the incarcerated American hoops star.

"Now, how can she feel like America has her back? I would be feeling like, 'Do I even want to go back to America?'"

It's clear LeBron doesn't believe the U.S. is doing nearly enough to bring BG home.

Insert "well bye" gif.

Regardless of what somebody thinks of Lebron as an athlete or basketball player, this is right up there as just as idiotic as his questioning of Morey after his Free Hong Kong comments.

I mean we quite literally have declared economic war on Russia and think they would just be nice about this. Also when they are offering Griner a nobody on the world stage in return for one of the most notorious arms dealers of the 20th and 21st centuries who literally has committed murder and supplied outright genocide yeah......not that much "America" can do.

Pretty sure his stupid arse would be begging to get back to American after spending time in a Russian prison for a vape pen, but that's just me.

As it turns out, when you break the law in a foreign country, particularly one who's less stringent on civil rights than America, the US doesn't just "bring you home".

LeBron could do us all a favor and leave this country

LeBron’s favored puppet is in the Oval Office and he’s too incompetent to help.

Not only that not a single person in the national news or ESPN has ever questioned why she was in Russia in the first place. It has been well documented that many of the owners of female basketball teams over there have ties to the Kremlin or are outright organized crime. Yet she went there in the middle of a war, yet not a single person will accuse her or helping or supporting Russia or even question her motives.

Sounds like Griner supports “sports washing”.
