"Somebody said that if LeBron James ever decided to get the operation, how would he be on the court?”
Former president Donald Trump made a joke at LeBron James’ expense at his rally in Phoenix (Getty Images)At his latest political rally, Donald Trump regaled his audience with a bizarre hypothetical about women’s basketball, taking a potshot at NBA star LeBron James in the process.
“If I were a coach, I’ll tell you, I wouldn’t be talking to too many women as we know women. I’d be getting some of these people that, ‘they’re women,’” the former president told a giggling crowd on Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona.
Then he drew Mr James into the fantasy. Listen...
At this point the crowd began booing, likely because of Mr Trump’s long feud with the basketball player. In the past, Mr James has called the Republican leader a “bum”, while Mr Trump has called the athlete “nasty” and a “hater”.
“And by the way, LeBron James – you can have him,” Mr Trump told the crowd, which began cheering.
