LeBron James says he's 'getting off social media for the time being'

The announcement came about five minutes after James shared a screenshot of a lengthy X post from NBA agent Rich Kleiman, written on Oct. 24, about the negativity in sports coverage.

James' departure comes shortly after the Atlanta Falcons' social media team announced they, too, were taking a break to "take care of our mentals, rest up, and get ready for what we expect to be an exciting finish."

James recently racked up four consecutive triple-doubles, the longest stretch of his career, in his 22nd NBA season. He is averaging 23.5 points, 9.4 assists and 8.1 rebounds per game this year while shooting a career-high 41.6% from three.
