James has been active in his pursuit of social justice in recent months, starting his More Than a Vote campaign, as well as advocating for justice for George Floyd in the wake of his death.
The four-time MVP also backed NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace after a noose was reportedly left in his garage stall.
It’s no secret that James isn’t a fan of the United States current president, Donald Trump, either.
Back in 2017, he called Trump a “bum” for withdrawing the Golden State Warriors invitation to the White House.
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!

On the court, James is focused on bringing a title back to Los Angeles.
The 16-time All-Star is once again an MVP candidate, as he is averaging 25.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and a league-high 10.6 assists per game.
Recently, James stated his case as to why he deserves to win the league’s MVP this season.
The Lakers resume the 2019-20 campaign on July 30 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
