As the entire NBA took Tuesday off for Election Day in the United States and the results poured in, it took time for many folks to digest the news.
Even though sports is likely not on the mind of many Americans today after such an impactful political decision, the gravity of the results will certainly impact virtually everyone in America. That includes four-time NBA Finals MVP and Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, who expressed his thoughts on social media after the election.
It isn’t easy to have the right words to say right now, but James immediately thought of his 10-year-old daughter Zhuri.
ELECTION RESULTS: It’s hard to write about sports today.
Here is what James wrote on Instagram:
“HEAVY ON MY HEART & MIND THIS AM MY PRINCESS 👸🏾!! PROMISE TO PROTECT YOU WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE AND MORE!! WE DONT NEED THEIR HELP!”
James had a similar reaction when Donald Trump won the U.S. Presidential Election in 2016.
