The rift is not new. But to understand the entire case we have to rewind to 2013. In July 2013, LeBron was congratulated by Donald Trump for winning the Athlete of the Year at the ESPYS. Later in 2015, Trump praised James as ‘a tough competitor who delivers under pressure.
LeBron has had his opinions, on the political front, posted publicly previously. Trump had attempted to pull LeBron to his court with words of praise. James, being the face of the biggest basketball league in the world, would have a wide influence that would help Trump. But James had different thoughts. During the 2016 presidential campaign, James was open about his support for rival Hillary Clinton.
LeBron had just won the NBA championship for Cleveland and was ready to promote Clinton’s candidacy at various events in his home state of Ohio.
