Trump is worth more than that so he must be more important right ?

You think it’s only “conservatives” that think ball dribblers like LeBron are overpaid ?

You think dribbling a ball is the same as running a major company with thousands of employees ?
There are only about 350 or so players in the NBA. I'd bet there is not a single CEO who could play in the NBA. A whole lot of people can run a company. Thousands upon thousands. Most just never get the opportunity.

Isn’t that because there are a limited amount of teams ?

If there were more teams .. there would be .. more players ..

Sounds like white privilege speaking to me. Isn’t it time Laura whatshernamer shuts her trap? Why should she have the platform to air her nonsense while silencing a black basketball player? What, exactly, has she ever accomplished? If anything, James’s views should have more credence: After all, who’s the more successful of the two?

Nope. You’d start diminishing the overall talent of the league and thusly the quality of the game. Basic supply and demand here.

You think Lebron is more intelligent than her ?

The white privilege thing is so lame and overused .

It’s the new “racist” which has no meaning anymore .

If she’s so well served by her education and experience, why was she one of the biggest dead enders on the Iraq War when most of her conservative peers admitted that it was a lost cause?

Please....her education! LMAO...GTHOH
She actually does have an education, whereas Mr. James has none other than a high school diploma, as far as I am aware.

Look...we get it. You're a Lebron fanboy. You're entitled to have your idols, even if you have chosen them poorly.

Just don't expect the rest of us to pay any measure of attention just because your idol manages to issue some ill-considered, scatter-brained utterance, OK?

This is the same low class jerk off that feels just fine about stiffing the lowly wait staff for tips on large restaurant tabs, so that kind of tells you what you need to know about him. Tastemaker he isn't.
