Michael Jordan responds to Trump tweet, backs LeBron
Unsurprisingly, Michael Jordan isn’t accepting Donald Trump’s praise at LeBron James’s expense.
Jordan responded to Trump’s tweet criticizing James — and praising him — with a very simple statement released Saturday.
Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan’s official statement, via spokesperson, in wake of Donald Trump tweet referencing him and LeBron James: “I support LJ. He’s doing an amazing job for his community.”

Trump took a shot at James on Twitter late Friday night, praising Jordan in the process, seemingly just for the sake of undermining the Los Angeles Lakers star. Jordan isn’t known for his expansive public statements, but it was clear he couldn’t let this situation pass without commenting.
As for James, he remains quiet about Trump’s comments, at least for the moment.
