LeBron James won't be voting in the Texas Senate election, but he made it clear Saturday night who he supports in the hotly-contested political race drawing intense national attention.

The Los Angeles Lakers star arrived at the AT&T Center in San Antonio wearing a Beto O'Rourke hat, his latest show of support for the Texas Democrat hoping to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.

James previously praised O'Rourke in August for his "candid thoughtful words" in a viral video of the candidate discussing NFL players' protests of racial injustice during the national anthem. James called the video "a must watch."

James' pointed choice of head wear also comes after a summer in which he did not shy away from making political statements. He notably drew the ire of President Trump after lamenting in an August interview with CNN that Trump was "using sports to kinda divide us."

Trump responded by saying CNN's Don Lemon "made LeBron look smart, which isn't easy to do."
