Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!

The "amazing" community work that Jordan is referring to is probably the new public school that LeBron opened in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, which serves at-risk and low-income students.

Lemon cited the school opening as he shot back at Trump on Saturday morning, writing, “Who’s the real dummy? A man who puts kids in classrooms or one who puts kids in cages?”
