A company belonging to NBA superstar LeBron James reportedly received a payment in exchange for sharing a campaign video for Kamala Harris last year.

The Los Angeles Lakers forward has been one of Donald Trump’s loudest critics in the sports world and had no qualms endorsing Harris ahead of the elections, as he posted a compilation of remarks from the sitting President along with the following message:

“What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!”

The video is right below:

James said that the choice between Trump and Harris was clear, and he later told reporters he was voting for the former vice president to protect women’s rights.

It appears that LBJ did not promote Harris and slight Trump simply out of personal conviction.  According to FOX News, he was paid handsomely for it.

The outlet reports that James’ company, Springhill Entertainment, received $50,000 from Harris for “campaign event production.”

“LeBron James’ endorsement of Kamala Harris last year came with an added bonus for him,” FOX notes.

They add:

“Records show that on Jan. 28 the former vice president paid James’ entertainment company $50,000 for “campaign event production.”

Springhill Entertainment was founded by James and his business partner, Maverick Carter, in 2020.

It’s safe to say that LeBron will not opt to go to the White House if the Lakers win the NBA championship in a few weeks and an invitation is extended.
