Donald Trump is weighing in on LeBron James signing with the Philadelphia 76ers as he continues his NBA career after leaving the Los Angeles Lakers.

During a press conference Friday at the White House, a reporter asked Trump where he stood on the James versus Michael Jordan debate.

“Well, Michael Jordan is a guy who is a friend of mine — play golf with him. He’s a really good guy,” Trump said.

He continued, “I think LeBron is… Maybe he’s a racist. Maybe he doesn’t like Trump. I don’t know, but I only like people that like me. So I would say Michael Jordan all the way.”

James has been open about his political choices, voicing his support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2020 election; for the 2024 election, James endorsed Harris in her presidential run. Claims that Jordan endorsed Trump for the last presidential election were debunked by his management team, who said “there is absolutely no truth” that the former NBA star publicly endorsed a candidate.

James made news earlier in the day after he confirmed he was headed to the 76ers for “a chance at the feeling of winning another championship.”

“I thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn’t ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game,” James posted on X. “I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and decide if I still love this game. I still truly love this game, and I have more to give.”

ESPN reported that James signed an $8 million, two-year deal with the 76ers. The basketball star made almost $53 million playing with the Lakers last year.
