Some time ago, fans noticed a strange, yet undeniable trend about LeBron James. Every single time he’s pictured reading a book, he’s always on the first page for some reason.
Whether it’s Malcolm X’s biography or whatever he can get his hands on, it seems like LeBron always grabs the first picture when he knows someone is going to take a picture of him.
That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t actually read the whole book, but, obviously; it led to some speculation among fans.
That’s why a TikToker decided to go to one of the few people who could actually know the truth about this: Richard Jefferson.
The TikToker asked Jefferson a couple of questions, including how does he manage to understand Kendrick Perkins when he speaks, who’s the worst defender he’s ever faced, and whether LeBron James actually reads those books:
“Yeah, but a lot of time, he just colors on them. It’s super weird, I’m being honest,” Jefferson said.
In all fairness, we have to say that LeBron is a pretty busy guy and maybe he doesn’t have a lot of time to read many books.
When he’s not in the gym or watching film, The King is with his family or attending many of his business endeavors. So yeah, we can give him a pass for this.
On the other hand, we should know that most of the things that come out of Richard Jefferson’s mouth should be taken with a grain of salt, not because he’s a liar or doesn’t know what he’s talking about but because he’s the ultimate troll.
Jefferson is one of the funniest guys in the league and he’s always cracking jokes. So I guess the TikToker will have to address the real source and just ask LeBron James if he’s truly reading or just wants to look busy so people don’t bother him before games.
