Lebron James' Surprising Lesson from 'The Autobiography of Malcolm X'

#malcolmx #lebron #nba
In this video, LeBron James was asked what his biggest takeaway was from reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X. He responded by saying that it was an invaluable resource for understanding race and self-identity.
Malcolm X was an iconic figure in the Civil Rights Movement and his autobiography is a must-read for any student of race and history. If you haven't read it yet, be sure to check it out! In this video, LeBron James shares his thoughts on the book and how it has helped him understand race and self-identity better.

[@johnnapolitana4665]

Him trying to say Danny ainge started super teams is bull superteams are considered when players are in their prime garnett and ray Allen were past their prime when LeBron went to Miami wade bosh and LeBron were in their prime everybody says that celtics team was the first super team total bull

[@wassup4294]

Yup, what were they 26,27,28,, that was straight bull shit letting that happen, the organization was trying its ass off to get this dude a ring. Should have zero rings but the nba always trying to help him stack the deck

[@TheNekgned]

Also that Celtics team was built on drafts and trades. Both Garnett and Ray Allen were acquired thru trades, and they drafted and developed Pierce themselves. Lebron and Both joined the Miami Heat as free agents with pay cuts. And for Lebron to say he was never on a super team is total BS. He is the goat of cheating and easy routes.

[@Kr4v3rd]

Plus Boston still traded for those players, lbj, wade, and bosh collided together to take less money to come together.

[@chisome1777]

​@@TheNekgnedI would leave for the heat too if I was on cleveland that team was horrid till lebron came and even then the team still sucked outside of lebron. Literally in the 2009 playoffs against orlando. Lebron dropped 40+ in 3 of the games and 30+ in the other 3 and they still lost thay series. They tried to build a team around lebron and failed clearly. Sheesh even on the heat in majority of the finals they lost lebron outperformed the rest of his team while his team failed tobplay up to par. The only finals I specifically remember lebron playing badly was the 2011 finals and he was still playing above average for a nba player. Lebron is a great player and is probably the closest thing we have to mj in terms of ability. I'd rather lebron go to the heat for rings then him becoming another lillard where its a great player held back by a horrible team

[@chisome1777]

​@@wassup4294How tf did the nba help him break the scoring record or win the ring in the bubble. Or get the 3-1 comeback against the curry warriors in 2016. Or beat the 2012 celtics despite the world basically saying his legacy was over. Theres only so much you can do before the situations turns from "The nba is doing this man favors" to "Yo this guy is good". Lebron passed that mark a while ago 😂

I think this genius was trying to tie in BLM talking points with Malcom X. He couldn't do it because he's 35 and still doesn't have a clue about Malcom X .

I don't know why Caucasians assume he can't read. He's been doing the same playoff ritual where he reads before and after games to calm himself since 2012. This is a weird attack, most likely angry Aryans who don't like to see AA athletes promoting literacy and Malcolm X.

[@buckrogers7115]

Even if he was reading that book, why would he take it with him to this forum? I read books, they stay on my nightstand

He sounds like he hasn't even read the summary.

“Just a very powerful mind and uh... G-GENTLEMEN!” Lol I love how he immediately looks at the camera when he splurs that out looking desperate as if to say, “like that, right?” 😂 bro wtf

"Very.....Very......Very!" Shut up and dribble, Lebron.

[@kennyolsem8787]

I'm so glad the media turns to Lebron when they really want to know what is going on in America. He is so erudite. He would make the founding father's envious with his grasp of history and social justice. I have no idea why he is wasting his time playing basketball when he could have his own news channel. Keep it up Lebron, you are awesome!

This dude is a phony. I was wrong about Skip Bayless all these years. He wasn’t being a hater. He just saw what everybody else didn’t. My question is, which of his handlers told him to bring the book to the press conference? And why?

sjtyree really? Trump literally said he’s not gonna share, it was an obvious lie but it’s not incoherent like Lebron.

[@moosejuice2609]

@@thatleftyjames2893 LeBron is FAR more coherent than Trump. The president has a hard time spelling on Twitter, an even tougher time reading his teleprompter speeches. This dude goes on long babbling rants all the time; some of which include his best hits such as when he said "the spanish flu may have ended World War 2" or my favourite "when the Americans stormed the british airports during the Revolutionary War"

[@thatleftyjames2893]

Moose Juice Trump’s 74 dude (just for the record I don’t like Trump and think he’s a moron). But that doesn’t matter, Lebron here is much more incoherent than Trump talking about the Bible.

[@Amber-cy1ox]

He has not read a book since kindergarten. He has no clue what he is talking about!! Again stating “we need to unite” you are trying to segregate black people!!!

I'm actually impressed he was able to ramble on for two minutes. It's impressive to be able to just mumble and b.s. for that long and not say anything.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was an avid reader, I am glad that LeBron has started reading as well. In this day and age it is too easy to get lost in the various forms of entertainment and not make time for reading and understanding. Reading gives you knowledge and information gives you power.

You can tell his education never went pass High school. Not even self education... or maybe he was afraid of what he read knowing that Malcolm X spoke one people like LeBron James.

Intellectual powerhouse right there

[@basquiat9015]

The media trys to paint Kyrie as this egomaniac, false intellectual. However, I'm pretty sure that Kyrie is very, very, very, very, much more woke than Lebron. This guy dosent really care about BL as much as his money and personal agendas.

[@Deadnickers]

Who cares

[@DMOWAIVERS]

What’s your favorite part about Malcolm X? He was black and cooler than MLK. Malcolm X was 40 times the man LeBron is based on one thing. The man changed his opinion and learned to admit when he was wrong.

"This is the first time I'm actually reading it from start to finish." I'll bet $1000 dollars he stops reading it after page 2. Anyone with a 6th grade reading level doesn't read books. I'll bet $100 dollars he's never read any book from start to finish. He's an ignorant Grifter.
