NBA superstar LeBron James said Wednesday he was taking an indefinite hiatus from social media after sharing a post which railed against negative coverage in US media.
James, who has some 212 million combined followers on his Instagram and X accounts, announced his break from social media after sharing a post by Rich Kleiman, the long-time agent of NBA star Kevin Durant.
With so much hate and negativity in the world today, it confuses me why some of the national sports media still think that the best way to cover sports is through negative takes, Kleiman wrote on X, formerly Twitter. I for one find it all a waste of breath.
Los Angeles Lakers ace James shared the post to his followers with a one word comment AMEN!!
The 39-year-old then followed up that post to confirm he was leaving social media for now.
