LeBron James has pretty much stayed above the political fray in his NBA career.
Until now.
James is throwing his name and hard-earned reputation as one of the best, if not the best, athlete in the world behind Hillary Clinton.
In a letter to fans — released exclusively online to Business Insider on Sunday night and in print in Monday’s Akron Beacon Journal — James explains why this particular race is different and why he is speaking out now.
The 849-word letter is typical James and reminiscent of his missive in Sports Illustrated when he announced he was returning home from Miami to once again wear a Cavs uniform.
