HILARIOUS: Bill Maher calls “BULLSH*T” on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro for trying to take credit for recruiting LeBron James to the Philadelphia 76ers with his pitch at a New York club.
Bill Maher: “How much credit do you think Governor Josh Shapiro deserves for helping recruit LeBron James to the 76ers?.. Well, he’s a JEW so NONE!”
Peter Hamby : “This was a scoop I had at Puck… [LeBron] went to a club called ZZ's... It's like a private club in New York. Josh Shapiro was there having dinner with the Clintons. Bill and Hillary Clinton. They see LeBron James across the room. Bill says, ‘Come over here.’ Josh Shapiro stands up and starts jawboning him—this was when he was a free agent—about coming to Philly. Politico reported later that he really put the work in with Rich Paul, his agent, whatever. So, look, Josh Shapiro might run for president, but if you look at the tweets after he got LeBron coming to — he's up for reelection this year for governor —”
Bill Maher: “This is COMPLETE BULLSH*T!”
Peter Hamby : “People in Philly are loving it. They're loving it.”
Bill Maher: “Oh, they're loving it, but that's not why LeBron James did it! LeBron James did it because he wants to play with Joel Embiid, [Tyrese] Maxey, and they got Jaylen Brown. That's why!”
Peter Hamby: “I'm just telling you what happened. I'm not telling you that Josh Shapiro made it happen… He was lobbying. He wasn't the real reason. It's an easy ring. [LeBron’s] got two years left. He plugs in nicely.”
“Are you mad about him leaving?”
Bill Maher: “No, no, no. I'm a Knick[s] fan. *Smiles* And have been my whole life.”
Peter Hamby: “That's why you're salty about the Sixers news?”
Bill Maher: “I'm not salty. I'm just saying I know why LeBron James did it. Everybody knows why he did it. That's why. He wants to play with the best players—and biggest chance at the ring. It wasn't just the governor. ‘Oh, right. A politician wants me to do it. Yes.’”
