Just days after LeBron James opened a school for 240 at-risk students in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, President Donald Trump took aim at the Los Angeles Lakers star on social media calling both him and CNN's Don Lemon dumb and unintelligent.
However, James' NBA counterparts were quick to come to his defense on Twitter.
Keep doing you @KingJames! 💪🏽 https://t.co/LOFVdQgyYr

So let me get this straight: Flint, MI has dirty water still, but you worried about an interview about a man doing good for education and generations of kids in his hometown? Shut your damn mouth! Stop using them twitter fingers and get stuff done for our country with that pen. https://t.co/sEkX3OKaJM
