LeBron James now has a standing invite to Fox News if he wants it.
After Fox News host Laura Ingraham suggested that James “shut up and dribble” instead of offering political opinions, James responded with a defiant message on social media.

In response, Ingraham extended an invite to James to appear on her show.
Hey King, Come play on my Court next week. You’re invited on the show anytime. https://t.co/CpXRl5jGzQ

Notably, Ingraham no longer wants James to shut up when the opportunity for a ratings ploy pops up. It’s a win-win proposition for her — either James appears on her show, generating wide interest, or he refuses, giving her the chance to accuse him of hiding from a real debate. Even after she attempted to clarify her statements, the guess here is that James won’t be rushing to jump on the program.
