LeBron James says he's taking a break from social media. (More Sports News)

The NBA's all-time leading scorer and Los Angeles Lakers star posted on X, the platform formerly called Twitter, and Instagram on Wednesday to announce that he's stepping away from his pages. James has 159 million followers on Instagram, 52.9 million on X.

James started the farewell by reposting something that Rich Kleiman, Kevin Durant's longtime manager, posted to X on Oct. 24.

바카라œWe can all acknowledge that sports is the last part of society that universally brings people together. So why can't the coverage do the same?" Kleiman wrote that day.

바카라œIt's only click bait when you say it. When the platform is so big, you can make the change and allow us all an escape from real life negativity. I for one find it all a waste of breath.바카라

James, on Instagram, posted a screengrab of Kleiman's post and added the caption, 바카라œDamn shame what it's come to.바카라 On X, his repost of Kleiman simply said, 바카라œAMEN!!바카라

Kleiman has posted only a handful of times since his Oct. 24 post, and evidently, James isn't planning to post much 바카라” or anything 바카라” until further notice.

His announcement came one day after he said 바카라œeverybody on the Internet called me a liar all the time바카라 when he said he was watching Dalton Knecht's college games last year at Tennessee 바카라” long before the Lakers drafted the sharpshooting guard.

바카라œAnd with that said I'll holla at y'all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y'all take care,바카라 James posted, followed by emojis of a hand holding up two fingers 바카라” often symbolizing someone leaving a place 바카라” and a crown, a nod to his 바카라œKing James바카라 moniker.

James, the NBA's oldest active player 바카라” he turns 40 next month 바카라” is a four-time NBA champion and a three-time Olympic gold medalist, the most recent of those coming earlier this year at the Paris Games.

The Lakers are 10-4, winners of six straight and next play Thursday at home against Orlando.
