LeBron James On Kanye Track: I'm Going to Side with Nike

Kanye West struck some nerves with his new track "Facts" as he dissed the Nike Brand for treating "employees just like slaves." He also mentioned LeBron James', Nike's new lifetime athlete, claiming Nike gave him "a billi' not to run away." Naturally James was notified of the comment, but according to a Twitter source, he never "really listened to Kanye's" track anyway.

"Obviously I'm going to side with Nike no matter who it is," said James. "It's just, it's family when you talk about Nike, and I'm always on their side no matter what the situation is." He also added "We don't look upon nobody on our side, we just try to put the best athletes that we can out on the floor every night. And Phil Knight's greatest saying is 'always listen to the heart of the athlete listen to the words of the athlete. And that's all it's about, nothing else."
