There is no doubt that Zlatan Ibrahimovic likes to mess with tall figures , this time, criticized LeBron James for using his social platforms to talk “about politics” and invited him to just dedicate himself to doing what he knows: playing basketball.
However -and as his social platforms demonstrate- James also does not like to remain silent and once again defended his philosophy of using his reach to work in favor of the black community.
Zlatan had said, “LeBron is phenomenal at what he does, but I don’t He likes people with some kind of status to get into politics while doing something else. Dedicate yourself to what you do well. “

Ibrahimovic thinks that that LeBron James should focus on sports and criticized the social and political activism of the Los Angeles Lakers star, who did not take criticism well and responded to the Swede as soon as the game ended in which they defeated the Trail Blazers.
“Ultimately, I would never shut up about things that are wrong. I talk about my people and inequality, social injustice, racism, things that happen in our community ”, defended James. “I know what happens because I have a group of more than 300 children in my school who go through the same thing and need a voice ”.
J ames then went on to criticize Ibrahimovic, whom he defined as a “hypocrite” after having heard him make comments in the past about the “racism” that he himself had been affected by in his own country.
“It’s funny that I said that, because I think in 2018 was the same athlete who criticized the discriminatory treatment he received in the field because his last name was not original to the country “, recalled James.
