The idea of Presidency didn’t seem to be all too favorable for LeBron James, who apparently shot down the idea (which was proposed by his own teammate) a few days ago.
DeMarcus Cousins has said that LeBron James should run for president. LeBron officially said he’s not interested at today’s practice.

But according to Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless, the King has definitely given it some serious consideration.
FYI: I heard today from someone close to LeBron who said he HAS seriously considered running for President of the United States some day. "It's a plan of his but not yet a goal," the source said.

It’s not hard to see James entering the political sphere. He’s spoken his mind on a number of big issues in the past and always makes it a point to stay educated on the things happening around him and around the world.
As the face of basketball, and a guy who owns a number of different brands outside of it, James would likely gain a very large following of fans and followers if he were to launch a campaign.
Without experience, it’s hard to say if he’d pose a real chance to win and even harder to predict how he’d actually do if he were elected, but clearly it’s a possibility we can’t ignore, especially as his days in the NBA dwindle to its end.
