Everything Lebron does is orchestrated, even his pro-blackness. Nothing will come of this. Don’t let it be lost that Mendelsohn made it much harder for Maria Taylor to get Klutch client interviews, while giving Rachel Nichols full access. Rich Paul and Lebron are very aware of this.

His circle is filed with white people just like Adam Mendelsohn. Hell, his barber is white.


it makes sense now

this all connected

rachel herself keep getting exclusive interviews with Lebron


:ohhh:

None of the athletes you named have the ties to this man that Lebron does:stopitslime:

They're involved in the group while Lebron and him are co-founders. He's the one who needs to vet him.

He absolutely should be called out for having a racist cac in his circle. He's not just an employee who had to deal with a racist coworker. He hired this guy.

We been knew about Rachel and a cac getting exposed for doing what cacs do isn't surprising. What is surprising is Lebron having close ties to one of the guilty parties. He needs to sever those ties asap.

Next time hire a black man or woman.

I looked up dude what has he done that’s racist. How would Lebron know how dude is behind closed doors. I’m trying to understand how this is Lebron’s fault right. I think it’s naive to think Lebron or other black people don’t have to rub elbows with white people like this Dude or Rachel Nichols. It’s common practice I don’t get where the disconnect.

ESPN are in the midst of an internal firestorm, as leaked recordings of Rachel Nichols talking about fellow sports presenter Maria Taylor cast a gloomy spell over the network.

The leaked conversation about Maria Taylor was between Rachel Nichols and LeBron James’ spokesman, Adam Mendelsohn.


While Mendelsohn is more used to working behind-the-scenes with the press, he has now been flung into the public eye, as the leaked recording goes viral online.

Who is Adam Mendelsohn?
Adam Mendelsohn is currently working as an advisor and spokesman for NBA legend LeBron James.

Mendelsohn worked with strategy firm Mercury LLC when he was hired by James. According to their website, they specialise “in brand, crisis, and media strategy” for Fortune 50 companies, CEOs, celebrities, and even athletes.


Adam Mendelsohn joined LeBron James’ team in 2010 as his publicist. He was hired to turnaround James’ public image, which had been in tatters after he decided to move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to Miami Heat.

Prior to his career in sports, Mendelsohn served as former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s deputy chief of staff.

Helping athletes leverage their power into political action is important to Mendelsohn and he has been helping James shift in this direction, as well as reform his public image. This shift in direction comes as no surprise given Mendelsohn’s background.


“Athletes are as qualified, and often more qualified, to engage in politics and activism than a CEO,” Mendelsohn said. “Why does a business leader with narrow life experience get to question the problems in our country but a cultural leader who faced incredible adversity does not?”

Many basketball fans would have not heard of Adam Mendelsohn before the leaked recording, but now it seems he has the whole NBA fandom’s eyes on him.

The conversation between Adam Mendelsohn and Rachel Nichols took place on 13 July 2020. In the phone conversation, Nichols discusses her career trajectory and her true feelingsabout Maria Taylor landing the job to host 2020 NBA finals coverage.

Although Nichols, Taylor and ESPN were at the heart of the discussion, some of the comments made by Mendelsohn have not gone down well with those who heard them. One Twitter user suggested that Mendelsohn should be dropped by LeBron James over the phone call.

so exactly what has this guy done particularly in relation to lebron that's racist? unless I've missed something (which is distinctly possible) what I have read is a lot of accusation based on conjecture.

lol @ "Bron hate" these are all facts fukk outta here. Straight up racist Republican heading up Klutch's media efforts but hey its hate to ask questions about it. But when Kyrie wants to boycott the bubble ohhhh he's a fake militant :russ::russ::russ::russ:
Yeah. I think in this case it’s not Bron hate at all.

These findings by @10bandz who is LWO all day (so he has the least reasons ever to throw Klutch or Bron under the bus since Bron and A. Davis are both on Klutch and Lakers) are some real shyt.

It’s a horrendous look - and I say this as a Lakers and LeBron fan - that a cac who is Republican is someone they work with.

It is not in line at all with the image we have of them being 100% liberal, pro-Black because Republicans and people who help Republicans are conservative and pro-white and generally anti-Black.

Now I get the hiring of a media manager/publicist. But they couldn’t find a liberal person? They couldn’t find a Black person? I get that due to power structures you need white men to put out fires for you... but hire a white man who never helped Republicans.

Hire a pro-Republican person = expect anti-BLM remarks. This time caught on tape.

Rachel laughing when he said that just tells you: it’s all a fukking show. These cacs don’t care about us at all.

In the recording he says “in between the MeToo movement and Black Lives Matter he is tired” (paraphrasing) and Nichols laughed at that.

You done doubting this you cac you? No way you’re black.

now the tamir rice situation makes more sense

but this doesn't discredit is on-court play

especially when he is chasing Mr. "republicans buy shoes too"

also it makes sense to hire a republican strategist...they are clearly more competent than Democrats

they got the incredibly incompetent Bush and Trump into office

:ufdup:
I interpreted that comment in two ways. One through the lens of him being a spokesman for Lebron and wanting to avoid his employer being involved in her issue. Two, him curbing her because he wasn't interested anyway. Neither view strikes me as racist. So, could you explain what your outlook on this is?

That maybe the case and of course feel free to make a thread in that topic and @ me. But that doesn't answer the question asked.
