They said James just 'briefly' attended the event, which was outdoors and required proof of vaccination or a negative test. In May, former Lakers guard Dennis Schroder told a German publication that he and James were the only unvaccinated Lakers, according to Yahoo Sports, which says 10 to 15 percent of the league's players are unvaccinated.Ī few weeks later, the NBA decided not to suspend him, or order him to quarantine, after he went to a promotional event for Lobos 1707 Tequila.

'That's a conversation that my family and I will have and I pretty much I'll keep that to a private thing,' James said. James appeared wishy-washy about the COVID-19 jab as he gave a lengthy interview ahead of the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, after NBA commissioner Adam Silver recently announced that he would not make the vaccine mandatory. Unlike, say, Drake.In March, he had avoided answering about if he was planning to get the coronavirus vaccine, saying in an interview that he'll 'keep that a private thing.' Of course, James has completely legitimate reasons to support all these teams, at least temporarily, at each moment (well, maybe besides the Marlins). No official word yet if James remains a fan of the struggling Dallas Cowboys, or if he has hopped on the Rams bandwagon by now. 👑 #WorldSeries /gYLp5vmEd7ġ-0 since you've been live tweeting with us. Major League Baseball and the Dodgers had some fun with James’ newfound Dodgers interest: MOOKIE!!! Safe LeBron James October 21, 2020 Like the rest of us, James was unable to be in person for the opening game of the Fall Classic - which is being played at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas - but he seemed to be quite invested in the game from home. LeBron James is clearly enjoying the ride, even if he’s one of the few people watching.Īfter L.A.’s 8-3 victory in Game 1 behind the arm of Clayton Kershaw, the Lakers superstar did his best Twitter impression of Magic Johnson in expressing his support for the winning pitcher and team:ġ down! was himself(which is AMAZING), did it all, went yard again and the whole team was simply damn good! #OnToTheNextOne
#LEBRON JAMES LIDS SERIES#
The Dodgers - looking for the franchise’s first title since 1988 - are currently locked with the Tampa Bay Rays, 1-1, in their third World Series appearance in four seasons. Considering the Marlins finished in either fourth or last place in the NL East during each of James’ four years in South Beach, it’s understandable that he didn’t fully hop on the boat: However, as a general baseball fan, he was a frequent attendee of games at Marlins Park. While LeBron James played for the Miami Heat from 2011-2014, he didn’t exactly become Marlins Man 2.0. He evidently scaled back obvious displays of Pinstripe Pride in Cleveland in the time since, and, in retrospect, perhaps the minor outrage from Clevelanders in 2007 offered a preview to their reactions to The Decision three years later. LeBron was happy to be a part of the fun: Before the team’s playoff run, he released a video wishing the Indians well.įresh off leading the Cavaliers to a 3-1 Finals comeback over the Golden State Warriors - the most glorious moment in Cleveland sports history - James and his Cavs teammates were repeatedly spotted in a Progressive Field box during the team’s October run. LeBron James made the above comments during the Indians’ exhilarating run to Game 7 of the World Series, during which James - back with the Cleveland Cavaliers - became a vocal supporter of the local baseball club.

That’s part of the reason I loved those teams but I definitely support what the Indians are doing right now.’’ Cleveland Indians I liked them because they gave me hope of being a winner. I loved the Bulls, Cowboys and loved the Yankees.


As a kid growing up, I needed inspiration to get out of the situation I was in. “I’m a supporter,’’ James told the New York Post.
