Osama Bin Laden’s translator once shared serious advice to 4x NBA champion leaving Cleveland: “LeBron James is very bad man”

LeBron James, now with the LA Lakers, was even hated by Muhammad Rahim. One of the world's most well-known terrorists, Rahim is being held by the United States government at Guantanamo Bay.

Rahim was described as "Osama bin Laden's special aide" and was accused of helping bin Laden escape capture.

LeBron James comes into the picture after the Washington Post obtained a declassified letter, which the newspaper published. According to ESPN, Rahim didn't like that LeBron was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers:

“Dear Mr. Warner!” he wrote in a separate freshly declassified letter. “Lebron James is very bad man. He should apologize to the city of Cleveland.”

Carlos Warner, Rahim's attorney, said that Rahim noted his values, where loyalty is the key:

“betrayals are not tolerated or forgiven, although an honest apology from an offending peer is valued.”

LeBron James has received hate through social media and the media in general. However, hearing someone who worked as a translator for Osama Bin Laden hating on him is next level.

Even now, many don't like that LeBron has left multiple teams in his career. His decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010 was widely covered and might be one of the biggest days in sports history.

This happened more than 10 years ago, so maybe Rahim views LeBron James differently now. For what it's worth, James ended up returning to Cleveland, so he might have made Rahim happy with that decision.

LeBron could even decide to go back to Cleveland to finish his career. It's not out of the picture.
