Ever since they shared touches in the NBA, LeBron James found a very good friend in Richard Jefferson, a man who walked with him during that impressive run against the Golden State Warriors in 2016, who created a deep bond with the Los Angeles Lakers superstar.

A lot has happened since that moment and things remain the same for both players, who don’t miss a chance to troll each other on social media or during interviews. However, when they need to defend one another, they don’t hesitate and the retired forward had something to say against Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The AC Milan striker recently criticized LeBron James for his activism, stating that he should stick to basketball and be outof political issues. The 39-year-old said that he doesn’t like when people reach certain status and start trying to talk about things they’re not educated on.
