LeBron James jokes about Ohio bar owner who won’t air NBA games

Sometimes you have to laugh at things that seem ridiculous or even cruel. LeBron James reacted to the latest story about someone hating him by using his sense of humor on Saturday afternoon, just a few hours before his Los Angeles Lakers took on the Dallas Mavericks.

The Washington Examiner reported that a bar owner in Cincinnati, Ohio, has announced that he will not air any NBA games until LeBron James is “expelled” from the league. This absurd story was posted on Twitter by MSN, where LeBron found it and decided to offer up a joke that he had to cancel his plans to watch the Lakers tonight at the bar.

LeBron James is used to being a target of attacks from people from across all walks of life, but it usually relates to James being outspoken about things he believes in and being a target of politicians like Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, or former President Donald Trump.
