Jason Whitlock is one person who won’t mince a single word when it comes to calling out LeBron James.
The sports analyst shared his thoughts on the Los Angeles Lakers star saying if he were WNBA player Brittney Griner, he’d question returning to the United States.
In response, Whitlock said, “I’m telling you I have not always passionately disliked LeBron James. He’s earned this … America has blessed LeBron James. He’s pissed on America.”
On Tuesday night, LeBron clarified comments he made about Brittney Griner’s detention in Russia, saying he wasn’t “knocking our beautiful country.”
Griner was arrested in February at an airport near Moscow for allegedly having hashish oil in a vape cartridge in her luggage. She pleaded guilty last Thursday. Griner plays in Russia in the off-season to make money.
“My comments on ‘The Shop’ regarding Brittney Griner wasn’t knocking our beautiful country,” James tweeted Tuesday night. “I was simply saying how she’s probably feeling emotionally along with so many other emotions, thoughts, etc inside that cage she’s been in for over 100+ days! Long story short #BringHerHome.”
