LeBron James thanks Laura Ingraham a year after ‘shut up and dribble’

A year ago, just before the NBA All-Star Game, megastar LeBron James was told to stay out of politics.

It didn’t work and James thanked the woman again on Saturday for helping him spread his values and beliefs.

A brief recap: Last February, James did an interview along with Kevin Durant that aired on uninterrupted.com in which he questioned the leadership of President Donald Trump, calling some of Trump’s public statements “laughable and scary.”

That sparked conservative Fox News host Laura Ingraham to opine during her show that James should just “shut up and dribble,” and stay out of politics.
