LiFiancée of slain journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, on LeBron's Saudi Arabia visit: "Another disappointing development. It's important to remember athletes aren't just athletes. They have lots of fans following them. It's sad to see they forget they're also morally exemplary while making their choices"

>Hatice Cengiz, who was set to marry Khashoggi the same year he was murdered upon the orders of Saudi ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin-Salman (MBS), called out James and other sports figures for shilling in a country notorious for human rights violations.
>“Another disappointing development. It is important to remember that athletes are not just athletes,” Cengiz told RadarOnline.com n an exclusive interview. “They have a lot of fans following them. It is very sad to see that these people forget that they are also morally exemplary while making their choices."
>King James shocked fans when he was spotted shooting hoops in Saudi Arabia this week — only months after making a tongue-in-cheek social media comment about a string of superstar athletes getting paid seven-figure stipends to show off their skills in the oil-rich nation.
>The 38-year-old basketball phenom used a GIF of Tom Hank’s Forrest Gump character in a full sprint to demonstrate how quick he would be to accept the $776 million invitation the Saudis made to Kylian Mbappe, the speedy French soccer star.
>Mbappe turned down the offer and many thought James was immune from the so-called Saudi blood money since the L.A. aker’s power forward is worth an estimated $1 billion.
>Images of James, released this week, showing him in the Saudi capital of Riyadh shooting hoops in the gymnasium with a banner screaming “Welcome to Arabia” and “Ministry of Sport” strategically placed behind him sent many fans into a tizzy.
>Another X post showed James strolling out of a building followed by a gaggle of Saudi men in traditional checkered head scarfs and white dress robes.
