“He (LBJ) said something about me one time in the past. He was like ‘that guy wouldn’t say it if he saw me face to face’. And then I saw him at the design district after he played Miami two years ago. I was going to walk up to him and all his security was like ‘Please Colby Please, don’t say anything to LeBron’. I was like I’m going to give him a pass but I promise you next time I see him I’ll give him the biggest wedgie he’s ever had.”

Colby Covington Rant On LeBron James National Anthem Controversy
Covington and the Lakers superstar hold contrasting political stances, rooted in differing ideologies. This isn’t the first instance of Covington ranting against James, and this time it sparked when LBJ fell into controversy. James continued walking while the national anthem was still playing, eventually taking a seat, a move that disappointed many and served as the catalyst for Covington’s criticism.

With Covington once again unleashing a rant and even issuing threats, the prospect of a meeting between these two superstars, standing on polar opposite ends politically, becomes increasingly intriguing.
