LeBron: America has never been built on one guy
While he may not be pleased about the election results, LeBron James is still willing to accept Donald Trump as his country's newest leader.
"He's our president. And no matter if you agree with it or disagree with it, he's the guy and we all have to figure out a way that we can make America as great as it can be," James told Jason Lloyd of Ohio.com. "We all have to do our part. Our nation has never been built on one guy, anyway. It's been built on multiple guys, multiple people in power, multiple people having a dream and making it become a reality by giving back to the community, giving back to the youth, doing so many great things."
The staunch Hillary Clinton supporter emphasized the need for everyone to do their part.
"Obviously we always had a guy that has the No. 1 position of power, and that's the president of the United States, but it's never been built on one guy," James said. "So we all have to figure out a way that we can better our country because we all know that and we all feel it. This is the best country in the world, so we all have to do our part. It's not about him at all. Especially not for me and what I do."

Should the Cleveland Cavaliers win another championship during Trump's tenure, though, James isn't sure if he'd visit the White House to celebrate.
"I don't know. ..." he said. "We'll have to cross that road, I guess. We'll see. I would love to have to cross that road."
