Another hilarious part is that it’s a video for his show, you can edit it out after he says it. They don’t have one guy there to be like umm yeah maybe this isn’t the best comment? Just shows how many yes men surround famous people sometimes.
it wasn’t an interview or a tweet
he says some funny stuff, he’s mostly trained to say the most generic thing possible after 20+ years of media but every once in a while he tries to step outside the box and actually think and it’s pretty good

[ Enes Kanter gets it, and rips LeDouche a new one ]
Enes Kanter Freedom laid into LeBron James in a fiery tweet on Tuesday over the Lakers star’s recent comments about WNBA champion Brittney Griner, who is currently detained in Russia on drug charges.
In a new trailer for the July 15 episode of Uninterrupted’s “The Shop,” James said that Griner has been in Russia for “over 110 days” and questioned “How could she feel like America has her back? I would be feeling like, ‘Do I even want to go back to America?’”
James, 37, then took to Twitter to say he “wasn’t knocking our beautiful country.”
Freedom, a native of Turkey who has been critical of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, responded to James’ tweet and accused him of “taking [his] freedom for granted.”
“You call it a step back, we call this a walk back,” Freedom wrote in a quote tweet. “You are free to leave buddy or you can even volunteer for an exchange for her. Some people literally have NO idea what is it like to live in a dictatorship. Keep taking your freedom for granted.”
Griner, 31, has been detained in Russia since Feb. 17 after the Russian Federal Customs Service claimed it found hashish oil in her luggage at an airport near Moscow. She was arrested a week before Russia invaded Ukraine.
Griner, whose trial is ongoing, pleaded guilty last week and faces a possible 10-year sentence. Reuters reported that the former No. 1 overall pick and eight-time WNBA All-Star appeared back in court on Thursday.
“I’m terrified I might be here forever,” Griner wrote in a recent letter to President Biden. “Please don’t forget about me.”

Griner’s wife Cherelle revealed in a post on Instagram last week that she had received a call from President Biden and Vice President Harris regarding the situation.
This wasn’t the first time Freedom, 30, publicly called out James about matters outside the game of basketball.
Last November, Freedom offered to “educate” James on human rights violations in China, after he had been critical of James and Nike for not speaking up about the subject.

Earlier this month, Freedom said he believes the NBA wants him to retire due to his political outspokenness.
Freedom, who changed his name after becoming a US citizen in November, played 35 games with the Celtics last season, averaging 3.7 points and 4.6 rebounds, before being traded to Houston and subsequently waived.

Number of times he’s gotten obliterated by LeBron on the court , I would want that too
LeBron is finally realizing what we have known for a couple years...he is becoming irrelevant. Those "yes men" in his posse have him convinced he is an important voice in American rather than the reality of being a very rich, uneducated middle-aged guy who was a good basketball player. Now, LeBron can "walk-back" his comments faster than he can "get back" on defense.
Saying Celtics fans are racist is a pretty misplaced generalization by LeBron, but it’s still a much more valid comment than the Griner stuff
Other athletes have attested to Boston racism historically, and Boston’s reputation as a city regarding racism not exactly great lol so his comment is at least rationale this time

Skin color of Boston’s players has nothing to do with racism that exists in their fan base/city as a whole. Lot of players on Ole Miss and Alabama are black….you don’t think any of those fans are racist down there?
Having said that I don’t think Lebron is hated because of racism. Just pointing out that Boston doesn’t have a great history with this stuff
