LeBron James Under Fire After Ethically Questionable Company Partnership Tease
NBA superstar LeBron James is under fire after teasing a partnership with an ethically questionable company.
LeBron James is facing backlash after a teaser video surfaced showing the basketball star partnering with an ethically questionable company. The video, posted on Saturday, features James stepping out of an elevator in front of a building bearing the logo of Polymarket. Commenters have blasted James, accusing him of selling his morals for cash or simply promoting gambling.
Polymarket describes itself as a peer-to-peer prediction market, where users trade contracts based on real-time probabilities. The company has faced criticism for running fake marketing campaigns and spreading misleading political information. James, 41, is preparing for what is expected to be the final chapter of his NBA career. He recently signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.
