With the 2018 Election Day upon us, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James talks the importance about this event and how people can be the change.

“I think it is very important, it's very important,” James said. “We always talk about we want change, then we get to this point, a lot of  people don't register, a lot of people don't vote. If we want change, we have to have our voices and our boxes be checked. Who we believe who can make change. Been pretty outspoken about it for quite a long time about it. In order for us to all change, us as the people we have to change it. Today's a great day to have that opportunity. See what happens.”

We've seen James being outspoken about politics, especially on president Donald Trump. We all remember the famous “U bum” tweet James did last season, which set Twitter ablaze.

With LeBron James being really one the few superstars in league history to be outspoken about stuff like this, it is important that we listen to what he, along with other athletes and celebrities, have to say. They are also people who want change and are trying to impact some stuff today. But they know they can't do it all on their own even if they tried.

The Lakers superstar pretty much hit it right on about how people want change, but sometimes when people want change, they don't vote or even register.

It is very important to listen to this message that LeBron James has to say. He has a platform and he's using it for the greater good.
