Woke NBA superstar LeBron James is now using his name and influence to support the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket. He has just made a statement saying that he is ready to push Biden into the White House. James made the statement while appearing on VICE TV’s Cari & Jemele: Stick To Sports. “In order for change, it’s all about leadership, and leadership starts at the top,” James said. He added that there had been no question that he would join the support for the Democrat candidates.

Back in 2016, James supported the Hillary Clinton campaign which pathetically lost to President Trump’s powerhouse of a campaign. Back then, he only backed Clinton a month before the election. This time it seems that he has been told to maximize his influence and express his support much earlier.

He quickly congratulated Harris after it was announced that the Biden campaign had settled for her as the VP choice after no other suitable candidate could be found. It seems that this time, James is all ready to be political but a few months ago, he and the rest of the league refused to say anything against the actions of the Chinese Government.

Back in October last year, Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted support for the democracy protests in Hongkong. There was a huge backlash in China, which is understandable. What’s difficult to understand is the action of the NBA and its supposedly woke players. They punished Morey for daring to voice out an opinion and pandered to China. James, who is the biggest NBA star today, refused to say anything that might antagonize the Chinese government. That’s because the NBA has invested heavily in China, and it is their biggest market outside of the United States. They don’t want to do anything that might stop the cash from coming in.

Stars like James claim that they don’t want to get political even if that means refusing to speak against the Chinese regime that is known to be suppressing the rights of its own citizens and committing human rights abuses. Yet, they are ready to condemn ordinary Americans as racists.
