LeBron says he 'will definitely not shut up and dribble'

LOS ANGELES — LeBron James says he will not stick to sports.

The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar reiterated his determination to speak out on social issues and the nation's political climate Saturday during his media availability for the NBA All-Star Game.

"I will not just shut up and dribble," James said. "I get to sit up here and talk about what's really important."

James spoke publicly after Fox News host Laura Ingraham criticized the three-time NBA champion for his recent comments about social issues. James previously responded with an Instagram post containing similar sentiments.

"We will definitely not shut up and dribble," James said.
