It looks like Lebron James is speaking out on the events surrounding WNBA star Brittney Griner.
The Los Angeles Lakers star says Brittney has been held captive for way too long without the U.S. bringing her home. He also suggest that if he were her, he’d question returning to America. James made the comments during the latest taping of “The Shop” when the conversation apparently turned to the incarcerated basketball star who was arrested in Russia after authorities said they found vape cartridges with cannabis oil in her bag.
“Now, how can she feel like America has her back? I would be feeling like, ‘Do I even want to go back to America?'”
Watch LeBron’s comments below:
Definitely a hot take by LeBron, not so sure anyone considered her not wanting to return.
Britney recently pled guilty to the charges and is facing up to 10 years in a Russian prison.
