Cleveland Cavaliers players, Lebron James and J.R. Smith, were out in the streets-this time not to party and celebrate, but to give their support to presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.
Lebron who is from Ohio introduced Hillary Clinton before the crowd during her rally in Cleveland. Lebron was on stage with his teammate, J.R. Smith.
James in his 25-minute speech voiced out some of Hillary Clinton's campaign platforms focusing on opportunities for kids most especially for those that are underprivileged. Lebron has actively participated in raising funds for education programs for kids cited this as his main reason for supporting Hillary. Not only so, James also brought up issues of gun violence and police brutality and said that America needs a president that unifies and brings everyone together. He added that Hillary Clinton will be the president that will bring that hope and unity for the country as reported in Deadspin.com.
Last month, the NBA Finals MVP, officially announced his intentional support for Clinton saying that she will build the legacy of the out-going president, President Barack Obama.
With a day left before the election, forecasts show that Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump will get Ohio's share of votes. In the forecast, it is projected that Donald Trump will get a lopsided 66.1% of the votes while Hillary Clinton will only get 33.9% of the votes.
Lebron who grew up in Akron echoed the importance of people giving out their vote. He cited his experience on living in a community where it felt like their vote didn't matter. However, he stressed its importance as one vote will determine the future of America. In his closing speech during the rally, he said that Hillary Clinton has prepared the brightest future for the world.
