Jordan has a WWE character turn
It’s no secret that LeBron James and Michael Jordan haven’t been fond of each other personally (see: LeBron speaking out on the cancelled Charlotte NBA All-Star Game). However, some eye-raising events have happened over the last 72 hours, starting with an interview on CNN.
Dating back to last summer, when Steph Curry and Golden State declined a White House invitation from President Donald Trump – many came out and supported Dub Nation. Trump felt slighted by the action and issued a public response to Mr. Curry, withdrawing his invitation.
Well, this caused LeBron to speak out for his on-court rival and fellow ambassador of the league, calling the President a bum. This week, King James sat down with Don Lemon to discuss his recently launched I Promise School to help youth beginning in his hometown of Akron.
LeBron also spoke on his comments on Trump, which led to Donald responding on social media calling James stupid. After several players came to support and aid of James on social media, Michael Jordan surprisingly came out to LeBron’s defense. Take a look at media below.
Lebron interview on Cnn
NEW: Jordan sides with James over Trump tweet. NBA legend Michael Jordan tells NBC News through a spokesperson: "I support LJ. He’s doing an amazing job for his community.”

Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!

So let me get this straight: Flint, MI has dirty water still, but you worried about an interview about a man doing good for education and generations of kids in his hometown? Shut your damn mouth! Stop using them twitter fingers and get stuff done for our country with that pen. https://t.co/sEkX3OKaJM
