Midnight call with Obama

LeBron James talks with Barack Obama about call that saved NBA season: 'We were ready to leave'




When NBA teams, led by the Milwaukee Bucks, walked out of their first round playoff games in August, it was an unprecedented move. Their wildcat strike was in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, but once they had stopped that day’s NBA games, that left them with some big questions: What next?

Yeah, well all your fans have left as well.

NBA used to be my favourite sport....Will be very interesting to see when the new TV deal will come around. Then we will all know what consequences if any, will happen.

Lebron sure does have a heightened sense of self importance.

Lebron is going to be soooooo hungry for attention when he retires.
