LeBron James and Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a collision course.
After the AC Milan star claimed that the Lakers player should stop engaging in politics and institutionalized racism in the United States and concentrate on sports, James reacted sarcastically.
"It's funny that it came from him, because this is the same one who in 2018 said he encountered racism in Sweden," James said this morning (Saturday) at the end of the Lakers' 93-102 victory, Portland said, recalling an interview with Ibrahimovic three years ago in which he claimed That the suspicious treatment he receives in his homeland stems from racism (Zlatan was born into a Bosnian immigrant family).
"He said the same things I preach to them, and claimed he suffered discrimination because of his last name. He said that, right? Yeah, I'm pretty sure he said that."
"I do not like athletes who take advantage of their status to talk politics. LeBron James is a phenomenal basketball player, but I just do not connect with the way he talks about politics while he plays basketball. Do what you are good at," Zlatan said.

This morning, as mentioned, came James's answer.
"I will never be silent about wrong things happening around me," he clarified.
"I oppose social injustice, racism, all the bad things that are going on around my community. I grew up there, I know what they are going through, I know what they need, and I know they need their voice heard. I am the one who makes their voice heard, I put a spotlight on "All kinds of things are happening in our country. There is no way I will concentrate solely on sports, because I understand how things work and how strong my voice is."
Finally, LeBron said, "I speak from a very intelligent place, and I think I am the wrong man to attack him, because I do my homework."
