'I'm the wrong guy to go at!' - LeBron James fires back at Ibrahimovic over 'stay out of politics' jibe

LeBron James has hit back at Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s claim that athletes like him should keep out of politics and stick to their sport.

AC Milan forward Ibrahimovic called out the basketball icon on Friday, saying he was taking advantage of his status.

The Los Angeles Lakers star, famously told to “shut up and dribble” by television presenter Laura Ingraham, has been outspoken about non-sporting issues throughout his career, founding the I Promise school as well as the More Than a Vote organisation, which helped people cast their ballots during the 2020 presidential election.
