Lakers star LeBron James says he’s taking a break from social media

Los Angeles Lakers’s superstar LeBron James has revealed he is taking a break from social media. James posted his decision on X and Instagram on Wednesday to announce that he is stepping down from social media platforms.

The 39-year-old veteran has a huge fan following of 159 million followers on Instagram, and 52.9 million on X.

James reposted Kevin Durant’s longtime manager Richard Kleiman’s post of October 24, 2024.

“We can all acknowledge that sports is the last part of society that universally brings people together. So why can’t the coverage do the same?” Kleiman wrote that day. “It’s only click bait when you say it. When the platform is so big, you can make the change and allow us all an escape from real life negativity. I for one find it all a waste of breath.”

James took a screengrab of Richard Kleiman’s post and wrote, “Amen!!” and then below it wrote, “Damn shame what it’s come to!” On X, his repost of Kleiman said, “AMEN!!”

James took the decision to take a break from social media after he said that everyone called him a liar when he said he was watching Dalton Knecht’s college games last year at Tennessee.

“And with that said I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care,” James posted.

James is a four-time NBA champion and also has won three Olympic Gold medals in his glorious career. The veteran recently won Gold with Team USA at the Paris Olympics. 

The Lakers are currently 10-4 in the ongoing season and James has once again played an instrumental role in the team’s success.
