A couple days ago, LeBron said that I doubt that I\u2019ll be 100% \u2014 I knew there was gonna be a chance I wasn\u2019t gonna be 100% this season, in fact, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever be 100% again in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c100% means 100% of what you have been,\u201d Kellerman stressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear he\u2019s still the best player in the world \u2014 are we still sure about that?\u201d the analyst questioned.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the 36-year-old basketball star has positioned himself as a left-wing political thought leader, doubling down on his anti-police activism, in particular.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, for example, the basketball star was on the receiving end of criticism when he seemingly doxxed and threatened a police officer who saved the life a young black girl. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/marshals-deputy-who-mocked-lebron-james-now-under-investigation-for-viral-video\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11.84030418251\">\n<p><em>James posted, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lebron-deletes-tweet-attacking-cop-who-saved-black-girl-after-facing-extreme-backlash\">deleted<\/a>, a tweet targeting an Ohio police officer last week after the officer fatally shot a black 16-year-old girl, Ma\u2019Khia Bryant. The officer shot the teen as she lunged at another girl with a knife. \u2026 James had posted a photo of the officer with the caption \u201cYOU\u2019RE NEXT\u201d and an emoji of an hourglass.
