At 39, LeBron James, crowned Olympic champion for the third time with the United States this summer in Paris, began his 22nd NBA season last week. He had already supported Democratic candidates in the past and criticized Donald Trump, notably in 2017 when he wrote that being received at the White House (as NBA champion) “was a great honor, until for you to enter.”
Several influential voices in the NBA have recently given their support to Kamala Harris, notably the former star of the courts Magic Johnson, or the star of the Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry and his coach Steve Kerr. The vice-president has a long-standing closeness with the flagship team in the San Francisco Bay Area, her native region.
Historic San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich once again blasted Donald Trump this week, calling him “a pathetic individual.”
