Throughout the last few years, while at the same time being the biggest star in the NBA League, LeBron James is neither silent nor afraid to say his opinion on things that bother him.

King James has, of course, been among the top basketball players to lead the war on racism in the world's best league in the past year and more than once has expressed his opinion on the conduct of outgoing US President Donald Trump.

The one who spoke out against LeBron's conduct recently was Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is also known as one who does not like to remain silent, but mainly to glorify himself.

Tonight (Friday-Saturday), LeBron addressed the Swede's criticism and said after the game against Portland.

"There is no chance that I will focus only on sports because I understand the platform I have been given and how powerful my voice is. I will never be silent about things that are wrong," he declared.

He added: "I preach equality, social justice, racism and things that happen in our community because I was a part of it and saw what was happening and I know what is still happening. I have over 300 children in my school who go through exactly the same thing and need a voice. I am that voice. And I will use the platform I received to shed light on what is happening, not only in our community but in the country and around the world. "

At the end, the incumbent general attacked Zlatan and said: "It's funny that Zlatan actually said what he said because in 2018 he himself said that when he was in Sweden he talked about the same things and felt he was suffering from racism off the field. He turned to the wrong person because I do My homework. "
