Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James has always been a social activist, alongside being a good role model for kids and people just trying to make a change in this world.
Right before the All-Star Break, James was called out by Laura Ingraham of Fox News who said on her show that she was not interested in the political advice from “someone who gets paid $100 million a year to bounce a ball.” and that he just needs to “shut up and dribble.”
A lot of players and famous people jumped to defend James and roasted Ingraham for her comments. Many believed it was a racist comment and was completely unacceptable for her to say.
As serious as the matter was at the time, sometimes the best way to make light of a situation is to joke about it, and that is what happened when Charles Barkley hosted Saturday Night Live.
“But some people don’t like to hear from professional athletes, like this lady on Fox News who told LeBron James to shut up and dribble. Dribbling is like only the fourth thing he is good at. Shooting, passing and magically making his hairline comeback.”
Barkley has had some interesting comments over the years about LeBron James, so it really shouldn’t be a surprise that Barkley is making fun of him again, especially for his hair.
As he as aged, James’ hairline has continued to recede farther and farther back on his head. He has tried to hold on to the hair though, and it has made for some pretty good jokes.
Maybe it is time for James to just pull a Kobe Bryant and shave it all off.
