Jeanie Buss, Adam Silver and Michael Jordan rally in support of LeBron James in the wake of Donald Trump tweets implying James is stupid

Following a tweet from sham university scam artist and President of the United States Donald Trump that seemed to imply he thought non-fraudelent school founder and Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James was dumb, the NBA community has come together in support of James, with Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and NBA commissioner Adam Silver all releasing statements rebutting Trump’s tweet without explicitly mentioning it.

Late Friday night, Trump tweeted that James “was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon” in reference to a CNN interview in which James accused Trump of trying to “divide” the country.
