The NBA media universe is on 48 hour streak of comparing players in the league to the President.
Earlier in the week, Max Kellerman, who is business partners with power agent Rich Paul, compared asking James Harden to bring your team a championship to electing Donald Trump to fix United States. Kellerman later apologized…because it wasn’t “fair to James Harden.”
The President remained on the mind of the NBA media with Kendrick Perkins using his air time on First Take to compare LeBron James to the President in regard to how he maneuvers with a plan in place.
James spoke about his future and how it wasn’t certain in the NBA on his recent podcast appearance and it was covered from all angles, including Perkin’s First Take segment.
“We took the bait. He threw his fishing pole out there, let the bait just hang, and he caught some big fish. He caught the attention that he wanted while his ass is sitting at home,” Perkins said (h/t Awful Announcing).
“I’ve been knowing Bron all my life, he moves like the President. He already has a plan in place. He knows what he’s doing. He knows what his next move is, he knows what the counter is going to be.”
“He knows where he wants to go, where he wants to be, if he wants to be on the Lakers. He already knows that. This right here was just throwing the bait out to get some more national media attention real quick to get people talking about it, and here we are talking about it again,” Perkins added.
