LeBron James recently announced that hes taking a hiatus from social media for the time being.
Initially responding to a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) from Kevin Durants manager, Rich Kleiman, who addressed his opinion of the current negative takes in the sports world, James posted AMEN before announcing his break.
We can all acknowledge that sports is the last part of society that universally brings people together. So why cant the coverage do the same? Kleiman wrote that day. Its only clickbait when you say it. When the platform is so big, you can make the change and allow us all an escape from real-life negativity. I, for one, find it all a waste of breath, the sports manager added.

In recent weeks, there has been criticism from sports experts and commentators regarding James son, Bronny, getting perceived special treatment by being allowed to only play home games for the Lakers G League.
On Thursday, Nov. 7, the Lakers franchise announced that the rookie will join the South Bay roster.
Bronny, 20, made his G League debut on Nov. 9, during South Bays first game against the Salt Lake City Stars at the UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo, Calif.
According to ESPN, Bronny is slated to only play home games for the team as he shuttles between the Lakers and South Bay.
The decision to move Bronny to the G League has been in the works from the beginning of the players time with the NBA, according to the Associated Press. The plan for Bronny to move between the Lakers and South Bay has always been the plan since day one. Rob and I have talked about that. LeBrons talked about that, Lakers coach JJ Redick said in October.
While Bronny is set to divide his time between the two teams, according to the AP, Redick said, Those plans could change, with the coach telling reporters, Our plans are always fluid based on real time.
