The Lakers star announced this Wednesday evening his decision to leave social networks due to the overly negative comments which are flourishing.
The Lakers are at the top of the bill at the start of the season. With its six consecutive successes, the Californian franchise has indeed settled on the podium of the Western Conference, only ahead of the Warriors and the Thunder. And if the Angelinos are in great shape, they owe it primarily to LeBron James, who at almost 40 years old averages no less than 23.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 9.4 assists.
But if Lebron James is in the news, it is because of his decision to leave social networks until further notice. An announcement made by republishing a post from Rich Kleiman, historical agent of Kevin Durant. “With so much hatred and negativity in the world today, I don't understand why many of the national sports media still think the best way to cover sports is (to do it) through negative angles. I personally find this all a waste of time,” he wrote in this message.
LeBron James has more than 200M subscribers
LeBron James accompanied this message with a
« AMEN », before writing: “And with that said, I salute you all!” I'm leaving social media for the moment. Everyone take care of yourselves. » Most often active on social networks, except when he decides to concentrate on his sport, LeBron James has no less than 213 million subscribers in total, with 160 million on Instagram and 53 million on X.
Tuesday evening, after the Lakers' victory over the Jazz, marked by rookie Dalton Knecht's 37 points, LeBron James was annoyed by the negative comments on social networks.
“Everyone on the Internet calls me a liar all the time,” he said. They say I lie about everything. So what am I here for? I was told that. I observed him. I observed a lot. »
