LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers star and NBA's all-time leading scorer, has announced a hiatus from social media platforms like Instagram and X, citing the negativity prevalent in sports media coverage. This decision follows his endorsement of a message by Rich Kleiman, Kevin Durant's agent, criticizing the media's focus on negative sports narratives. James, who has a significant following on these platforms, did not specify when he would return. His announcement comes as the Lakers enjoy a strong start to the NBA season. Known for taking social media breaks, especially during playoffs, James expressed frustration with being frequently labeled a liar by online critics and desires a more positive sports dialogue.
