LA Lakers superstar LeBron James made a major announcement regarding his social media activity. He told fans on Wednesday that he would be leaving X (formerly Twitter) after seeing negativity spread around the platform.
First, James shared a screenshot of an Oct. 24 Rich Kleiman tweet criticizing the state of the current NBA coverage, adding that James and JJ Redick showed the world how the game should be talked about with their joint podcast.
“With so much hate and negativity in the world today, it confuses me why some of National sports media still think that the best way to cover sports is through negative takes. We can all acknowledge that sports is the last part of society that universally brings people together. So why can’t the coverage do the same?” Kleiman tweeted.
After that, James sent a message to fans announcing a hiatus from social media.
“And with that said I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care ✌🏾👑,” LeBron James tweeted.
