LeBron James, who last season led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first N.B.A. championship, endorsed Hillary Clinton for president on Sunday.
Mr. James announced his decision in an op-ed article in Business Insider, saying that Mrs. Clinton understands the struggles of childhood poverty and as president would enact policies that would build on the legacy of President Obama.
He also said he believed Mrs. Clinton would champion causes for children, provide more educational opportunities and “address the violence, of every kind, the African-American community is experiencing.”

Thanks for your opinions on the election, LaBron. However, I don’t think Americans asked for it, so shut up.
Wait until he finds out that Clinton is a hard core racist and she supports the genocide of the black race by following Margaret Sanger.
Can’t wait for the Clinton ad featuring Mr. James and and Mr. Chabenisky...
Ice Cube tried living in the ghetto after he made it. He had to leave because of the crime.
Clintoon doesn’t care about the ‘hood one whit.
I don’t know where he got that idea.
Hillary comes from a wealth family. Grew up in an upper-crust Chicago suburb. Went to private schools from grade school through Law school.
She wouldn’t know poverty if it bit her on the cankles.
I guess he decided that Hillary's fake southern/ebonics patois she engages in front of black church audiences is authentic enough for him to believe such crap.
My guess is someone wrote this for him, showed it to him, and he signed off.
Hillary in my opinion is incapable of sounding sincere on stage which is why I think she has a problem drawing crowds at her rallies.
She comes off as wooden, false and insincere. Even worse than Al Gore.
People can tell instinctively that she is a phony. Even most Liberals.
The only thing she has going for her is that most Liberals don’t care that she is a phony. They would rather vote for the proverbial blue dog than vote for a Republican.
“James at line, he shoots, oh my the ball changes trajectory and hits him right in his big stupid face, I’ve never seen anything like that.”
Do you really care about Black people at all, you dimwit? They’ve been voting mostly rat since FDR and entirely rat since the 60’s. Notice any improvement back in the hood?
I wonder whether the author is a relative of Kareem Abdul Jabar.
Yes, we don't even know if these chumps can read and write.
This tactic is trying to reproduce the primary victory in Indiana when he got the endorsement of famed Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight. “There has never been a presidential candidate prepared to the length that this man is,” said Knight. Not so for Hillary Clinton. Her legacy has been one of corruption and deceit. She has a long list of failure. LaBron James has not studied up on Clinton or he would realize he is jeopardizing his reputation when he backs her.
Hillary lacks warmth, charisma and affability.
She just doesn’t have a connection with people. It something you have or you don’t have it.
Hillary lacks the empathetic qualities of a woman. That’s why men get turned off to her.
She’s a terrible candidate - for personal as well as political reasons.
I wouldn’t disagree with a word you wrote. Insincere is an excellent way of saying it. And throwing Hilly under the Al Gore “wooden” bus...just, Wow!!
Another black on the Democrat Plantation.
Tribal voter.
I could care less what ANY pro basketball athlete has to say about politics even if they are all in for Trump. While I admire James’ drive to succeed & what he did in winning a championship in Cleveland his thoughts on ANYTHING else has zero weight in our home.
Vote Trump 2016
Add to that, LeBron was not brought up in poverty.
