9. Hillary Supporter: LeBron James
As the biggest NBA star and arguably the biggest star in all of sports, LeBron James made headlines with his endorsement of Hillary Clinton. James is often compared to Michael Jordan when discussing the greatest NBA players of all time. Jordan had a reputation for refusing to discuss politics with the famous quote of “Republicans buy sneakers too.” Unlike Jordan, James has spoken up about his beliefs on policies and social issues.
The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar officially endorsed Hillary in late September. James stated he feels Clinton has the political experience and intelligence to get the job done. He also referenced his friend current President Barack Obama by saying he believes Clinton can follow the example set by Obama. Given your political leaning, that will either add agreement or doubt to James’ endorsement. The fact that James spoke at all about the election did help his reputation as people enjoy him actually giving his opinions rather than pretending to be a robot.
