LeBron James is one of the greatest athletes of all time. Being a great athlete, he's a very famous personality in the world but he's also one of the most hated.

James and UFC star Colby Covington has a long history of beef. Covington is known for calling James' action outside the court specially about the community.

Covington is a known Trump supporter while LeBron is an anti-trump. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar actually campaigned for the now US president Joe Biden.

In a recent interview of Covington, he called out the four-time NBA MVP for his silence on the Hong Kong controversy with the NBA:


«Just a big hypocrite,» Covington recently said in an interview. «He talks about his two biggest things he loves to talk about equality and justice. Where's the equality of employing women in Chinese sweatshops to make your merchandise for millions of dollars while they're making pennies? Where's the equality in that?"

«Where's the justice in critiquing the greatest country on God's green Earth America but not talking about Hong Kong, not talking about the Uyghurs in China? He stays silent on everything in China because he's a Chinese puppet master," the UFC star added.

LeBron's reason for his silence about the situation in Hong Kong is because of his endorsement deal with Nike. It is tough for him to address the situation because Nike's plants and factories are mostly located in China.

One of LeBron's main income comes from his endorsement deal including Nike.

Even Covington questions LeBron's action about the situation in Hong Kong, he can't changed the fact that LeBron is constantly giving back to the community.
