Swedish soccer great Zlatan Ibrahimovic said LeBron should stick to what he’s good at, according to The Western Journal.

“I like a lot. He is phenomenal at what he’s doing, but I don’t like when people, when they have some kind of status, and they go and they do politics at the same time what they’re doing,” Ibrahimovic said.

“I mean, do what you’re good at. Do the category you do. I play football because I’m the best in playing football. I don’t do politics. If I would be a political, politician, I would do politics,” Ibrahimovic said.

“That is the big first mistake people do when they become famous and they become in a certain status,” said Ibrahimovic.

“Stay out of it. Just do what you’re best at, because it doesn’t look good.”

“I come from the black community. I understand my black people and what we go through on a day-to-day basis. I understand that we’ve not been given a lot of information along the course of time, and I understand how important our vote is,” James said.

“We all have moments in our lives where we know who we are and we know what we’re about. And it’s about growth. I’ve grown over the course of my career. I’ve grown over the course of being an 18-year-old kid that came into the league in 2003, to a 35-year-old man that’s a husband and a father of three kids,” James said.

“I’ve grown to know who I am and what I stand for. And it’s not just about me, it’s about my people. That’s why I’m leading the charge,” he said.
