LeBron James has never been afraid to speak his mind on political issues, and Donald Trump has never been afraid of taking aim at him, which is what he did at the Los Angeles Lakers star during a radio appearance today.
James tuned into Wednesday night’s Vice Presidential Debate between Democratic nominee Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence and even went viral with his response to it by poking fun of the fly that spent a good two minutes on Pence’s head in the middle of the debate.
“Y’all know what flies favorite destination is right???” LeBron posted to his Instagram story, over a picture of Pence and the fly with a bunch of cry-laughing and poop emojis. “Yup you guessed it.”
During an appearance on The Rush Limbaugh Show, Donald Trump said that LeBron is “a great basketball player,” but “a hater” as he ripped the Lakers star for his endorsement of Democratic politicians and activism.
“LeBron is a spokesman for the democratic party and a very nasty spokesman,” Trump said, via TMZ. He once again took shots at the NBA’s television ratings, which have fallen like every other sport in the country this year, saying that the league “has become so political that nobody cares about it anymore.”

“Because, again, I’ve done so much for the Black community and people don’t wanna see that and he’s a great basketball player but people don’t wanna see a guy that way. They don’t want to see that. We have enough difficulty during the week, you don’t wanna sit down watching a basketball game and then watch somebody that hates your guts, okay, He’s a hater.”
He didn’t always dislike LeBron, as he showed way back in 2013 when he congratulated LeBron on winning an ESPY, calling him “a great guy.”
