« Je pense que LeBron James est... Peut-être qu'il est raciste » : Donald Trump tacle la star du basket en conférence de presse
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, took a swipe at LeBron James, the NBA star who just signed with the Philadelphia Sixers and who is one of his opponents in the world of sports, by calling him a racist, on Friday at a press conference.
When asked about the careers of Michael Jordan and LeBron James, two of the biggest stars in American and international basketball, US President Donald Trump said Friday that the former Lakers star might be racist. During a White House press conference, Fox News' Peter Doocy brought up the 41-year-old's trade to the Philadelphia 76ers, nearly a month after his departure from Los Angeles was announced, and then asked the president who, Jordan or James, was the "greatest of all time."
Trump responded: "Michael Jordan is a friend of mine. I play golf with him. He's a really good guy. I think LeBron is... Maybe he's racist, but maybe he doesn't like Trump. I don't know. I only like people who like me, so I'd say Michael Jordan without hesitation."
James supports Curry against Trump
LeBron James has supported all three candidates who ran against Trump in the last three presidential elections: Hillary Clinton in 2016 (whom Trump lost), Joe Biden in 2020 (whom he won), and Kamala Harris in 2024 (whom he lost). He also criticized Trump for withdrawing the Golden State Warriors' invitation to the White House following their 2017 NBA championship after Golden State's star player, Stephen Curry, stated that he would have declined the visit.
Michael Jordan (63 years old) won six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s and was named league MVP five times. James, on the other hand, has four championship rings and has been named MVP four times during his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Lakers. He is also the NBA's all-time leading scorer and the player with the most games played.
