LeBron James sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to talk about everything from his public activism to the long-awaited sequel to Space Jam.

And while obviously the biggest news here is Space Jam-related, James was also asked about President Donald Trump taking shots at him.

You’ll recall that after James talked about the school he opened in a CNN interview with Don Lemon, the President tweeted this out:

Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 4, 2018

In the THR interview, James was asked for his reaction but just dismissed it with a laugh:

Asked if it bothers him that the president called him dumb, James just laughs. “No, because I’m not,” he says. “That’s like somebody saying I can’t play ball. That doesn’t bother me at all. What bothers me is that he has time to even do that. He has the most powerful job in the world. Like, you really got this much time that you can comment on me?”

The backlash to Trump’s tweet was pretty widespread and even First Lady Melania Trump put out a statement praising James’ I Promise school.

James also spoke out in support of Serena Williams:

Having a daughter, explains James, is one reason he can relate to Serena Williams’ Sept. 8 agitation during the U.S. Open women’s final where she was penalized for arguing repeatedly with a male umpire (another reason, presumably, is being a superstar athlete). “What we all have to understand is what she is fighting for is bigger than just that match,” he says. “She is fighting for equality — always having to win more, more, more, just to feel equal. Being an African-American woman playing in a predominantly white sport, she’s dealing with so much more. I have no idea what was going on in her head, but I feel that struggle.”
