Finally champion again after 4 years of waiting, LeBron James is bathed in his juice. And in the midst of the celebrations, the King took the time to respond to two very influential voices in the United States.
LeBron James is a champion again, he’s the first day in history to lead 3 different franchises to the title, he has 4 Finals MVPs and as many rings… and he wants you to know it. From his post-victory speech, the Chosen One explained that he wanted “his fucking respect” – hard to make clearer.
He has this respect from two eminent personalities in the United States: Barack Obama and Tom Brady. The 44th US president and the US football GOAT both publicly congratulated the King. And the last glimmers of alcohol now scattered, he replied, beginning with Obama:
Thank you my friend!!! Truly appreciate our friendship and your words. ????????✊???????? https://t.co/ytsjDX4xKr

Obama : Proud of my friend LeBron James for his 4th title, 4th MVP of the Finals, and for not only continuing to hold the hype after 17 seasons, but even surpassing it as an extraordinary leader both on and off the pitch, for the education, social justice and democracy.
LeBron : Thank you my friend !!! I really appreciate our friendship and your words. ????????✊????????
If solemnity and seriousness were in this exchange, it was more relaxed with Brady. By the way, the King took the opportunity to send a tackle to all those who said he was “washed”, understand “finished” or “rinsed”, after his missed season last year:
Hahaha!! My brother Thank You!!! Not so bad for the washed up King. ????????♂️???????????? https://t.co/U4ACbI1AaM

Brady : Congratulations to my brother LeBron James for winning his 4th title. Not too bad for a flushed old guy!
LeBron : Hahaha !! My brother, thank you !!! Not so bad for the old flushed King ????????♂️????????????
It is true that James will have perfectly assumed the hype of this season, which he had self-proclaimed “revenge season”. At the end of it, he is again on the roof of the NBA, after irreproachable performances.
Even at 35, LeBron is on cloud nine, and these kudos from two close and influential relationships will only amplify the magical feeling. Enjoy, King, you deserve it!
