Candace Owens Slams LeBron James As A ‘Low IQ’ Person

Tell us how you really feel about LeBron.

Candace Owens, who is right wing political pundit, recently took a shot at Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. She also managed to compare him to Kobe Bryant as well.

The Conservative pundit slammed LeBron’s intellectual ability, strangely enough she fully admitted LeBron has never come for her in any way.

“LeBron never came after me,” Owens said. “I actually usually go after LeBron because I think it’s important for him with the platform that he has — and I think that, to be clear, LeBron is a well-meaning person. I don’t think LeBron means to do bad. I just don’t think he’s that smart. I really do. I think LeBron James is low IQ.”

Owens doubled down on her comments:

“I’ve heard him speak about issues, and he just is so wrong, but I think he carries with him an arrogance which isn’t hard when you’re being called a king,” Owens said. “Right? And he is an incredible talent. There is no doubt about that. He’s an incredible talent. It’s very hard to level yourself and to say, ‘Okay, I can be really talented but also not be educated on something.’ Right? And if you are not educated about something, you shouldn’t speak on it. I try to do very good about that. If I don’t know something, I try to listen.”

Candace Owens also implied LeBron is a liar:

“I would rather him be quiet than tell his people that follow him a lie,” Owens said.

“He needs to do the work of actually becoming educated about these issues, and it’s not hard,” Owens said. “It really isn’t hard to actually look up data and to look up the facts.”

Owens went on to say that Kobe is a much smarter person than LeBron. Ouch.

LeBron is the world’s biggest superstar athlete, so naturally people are going to come for him, even unprovoked.

Sad that people need to tear down others in order to get some attention.
