Add First Lady Melania Trump to the list of people showing support for LeBron James after President Donald Trump questioned the four-time MVP's intelligence in a tweet.
The First Lady released a statement through her spokeswoman giving James credit for the work he has done off the court.
"It looks like LeBron James is working to do good things on behalf of our next generation and just as she always has, the First Lady encourages everyone to have an open dialogue about issues facing children today," the statement read, via CNBC.com.
"As you know, Mrs. Trump has traveled the country and world talking to children about their well-being, healthy living, and the importance of responsible online behavior with her Be Best initiative. Her platform centers around visiting organizations, hospitals and schools, and she would be open to visiting the I Promise School in Akron. "
The First Lady also said she was "open" to visiting James' I Promise School for at-risk children in Akron, Ohio. Each student in the program who graduates is guaranteed a four-year college scholarship to the University of Akron.
The President's tweet came after he watched CNN anchor/reporter Don Lemon interview James. He tweeted late Friday, "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!"
