LeBron James recently made his first comments on the Brittney Griner situation. His comments were quite controversial to a few people, and some slammed him for being an “Anti- American”. His first comment on the Griner situation came in the promo for the show ‘The Shop’. He later took to social media to clarify that he supports the movement to bring Griner home. Griner is a two-time Olympic medalist and a Phoenix Mercury player in the WNBA. She has been detained in Russia for over the past 100 days.
Nick Adams, a speaker known to share his views on matters pertaining to the conservative school of thought, took to social media to share his comments on the same topic. He took a rather aggressive stance and said that LeBron James should join Griner in her sentence.

Nick Adams is an avid LeBron James critic. He is known to have many hot takes like the one regarding Brittney Griner. Previously, he has said that James is not a top 15 player of all time and that he has ruined the NBA.
Adam’s harsh comments may come from the fact that LeBron James is not a Donald Trump supporter. James has vocally said he is not a fan of Donald Trump. Now, Nick Adams is not only a supporter of Trump but is also endorsed by him. His stance on any NBA or WNBA-related matter would likely oppose that of LeBron James.
