LeBron James as POTUS would be an interesting sight.
LeBron James is seen as one of the most vocal leaders in the NBA community. The three-time champion is constantly speaking on behalf of the players and making sure they get what they deserve. He is also outspoken about causes that matter to him, including education and mental health. Needless to say, LeBron is someone who does a lot of good for his community and his efforts are recognized by not just fans but his peers as well. For instance, LeBron’s teammate, DeMarcus Cousins, went on the All The Smoke podcast and said that James should run for president someday.
After Lakers practice, LeBron was asked about Cousins’ comments and whether or not he would ever seriously consider running for POTUS. LeBron immediately laughed off the question and said it was definitely not in the cards, at least anytime soon.
So, there you have it. President LeBron won’t be happening in our lifetime. This shouldn’t be a surprising admission although considering we have a game show host in the White House, nothing is really off-limits these days. Either way, if you were hoping for a James presidency, we are extremely sorry to have disappointed you.
Perhaps when LeBron retires, he will get into the political realm some other way.
DeMarcus Cousins thinks LeBron James should run for US President
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is a lot of things. One of the best players in the history of the NBA, a person who goes out of his way for causes he believes in, and even a dude who doesn’t mind dunking on politicians from time to time.
According to DeMarcus Cousins, though, the Lakers forward should do a little bit more than just dunk on Donald Trump and company. In fact, Boogie believes LeBron James should run for President of the United States of America.
Don’t believe me? Well, tickle me fancy and look at this:
Do you agree? Do you think LeBron James, now with the Lakers but formerly with the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers, would make for a good leader of all men?
Given the fact that a reality show star is the current dude chilling in the Oval Office, previous experience seems optional when running to win West Wing honors. Then again, maybe people have tired on the idea of alleged “outsiders” shaking things up in the nation’s capital.
Nevertheless, it was an interesting thought from our good old pal DeMarcus Cousins. As for LeBron James, though, he’s going to spend the rest of the NBA season trying to take the Lakers to the promise land. After that, who knows… maybe even a trip to the White House.
