LeBron James is just one game away from earning his fourth NBA Championship, but on Wednesday the Los Angeles Lakers star was focused on the vice presidential Debate. 

James has previously said that he would hit the campaign trail for Democratic nominee Joe Biden, and in August he voiced his support for Sen. Kamala Harris as his VP pick. So it came as no surprise when James used a viral moment from Wednesday night’s debate to knock Vice President Mike Pence.

James shared an image of the moment on his Instagram saying “Y’all know what flies favorite destination is right!!?? Yup you guessed it,” adding several suggestive emojis after.
