27. "actually nobody is saying that."
In response to In response to 26


          

Of course he gets "PR refinement" (as does every superstar in his position) - he's engaged in several businesses and is active & aware of how social/marketing media works and is absorbed by the public.

That does not mean that his statements here are just a product of PR spin (which you implied with your initial response). That's who LeBron James is - a socially conscious athlete who embraces dialogue on social issues, never shying away from using his platform. It's not groomed or inauthentic in any way - as if he's just doing this for good PR. That it happens to be "good PR" is indicative of how influential he is - as he has helped to change the narrative of mainstream society as it pertains to a number of social issues.
