Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James isn't done with his beef with footballing legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic. LeBron recently took to Twitter to take a bit of a veiled shot at Ibrahimovic as he used the recent development in the Kelly Loeffler issue as a key argument as to why he will never just shut up and dribble.
James needed just three words to send another haymaker towards the direction of Zlatan:
Stick to sports….. 🤔 https://t.co/2P0QJyc8H0

Ibrahimovic started the feud when he called James out for being too involved in politics. The four-time NBA champ quickly fired back, explaining why he has no intention of wasting aways his platform and his influence by just sticking to sports.
In a recent development, former United States Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler, who just lost her bid for Georgia's Senate seat, was then forced out of the WNBA's Atlanta Dream franchise. Loeffler was forced to sell her stock in the team after heavy pressure from players, fans, and even the WNBA itself. This was after Loeffler ran a campaign that many believed to be racially-charged.
The kicker here is that it was one of her own former players, Renee Montgomery who took Loeffler's seat in the ownership. Montgomery, who herself took a year off of basketball to fight against social injustice, joined the ownership group that purchased Loeffler's share in the team.
LeBron James clearly supports Montgomery, all that she has accomplished, and everything she stands for. In his mind, this is exactly the reason why influential personalities such as himself and Montgomery must always let their voices be heard. Your move, Zlatan.
