Oh Trump is masteful. You see Trump country is not NBA country. The average guy out there is not an NBA fan. The NBA is a big market sport. Fly over country, the average joe in the South, the guy on the farm, etc hates the NBA. And, guess what they really don't like Lebron.LeBron is cocky and all that but if you have been worshiped since you were 14 you would be cocky too.
But LeBron’s charity work is no joke. He does an amazing amount of good. Plus he’s heavily involved himself, he’s not just putting his name on a charity to get the publicity.
This is the type of stuff I really dislike about Trump. I hate that he feels he has too comment on everything. Let it go who cares if LeBron hates you. Don’t say anything, say I’m too busy running the country. But know he has to comment and throw in the dumb card. I just don’t get it why somebody can’t say stop!!!
The good old boys will take about jordan, magic, byrd, kareem, etc. They will even talk about Steph Curry.
Lebron. Forget about it. Lebron is controversial in the Trump base. More so than Kobe. A lot of guys see Lebron as a traitor(the whole I am taking my talent to South Beach) and they get pissed about the Jordan comparisons. Then, when they see Lebron going back and forth with Trump they really get mad at Lebron.
Most of the country doesn't even identify with the NBA.
Trump is playing that like a master violinist.
