LeBron fires back at Laura Ingraham after she told him to 'Shut up and dribble'
February 17, 2018As America veers toward a Constitutional crisis, Fox News host Laura Ingraham is placing the blame not on Donald Trump but on … LeBron James?
On Thursday, Ingraham dedicated a whole segment of her show to James, enjoining the player to “shut up and dribble” on the grounds that he wasn’t “educated” enough to speak about politics. Last night, LeBron finally responded on Instagram with a pithy and forceful photo.
“#Wewillnotshutupanddribble,” Lebron wrote in the caption below.
