Osama Bin Laden’s Translator Wanted LeBron James To Apologize To Cleveland

Nope, this article is not some kind of weird joke, but something that actually happened. You may already have heard about it back then, but, just like myself, forgot about it again.

NBA reddit now brought the topic back up, and it still is pretty interesting.

Osama bin Laden, who is most well known for his role in masterminding the horrific September 11 attacks, which resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people and prompted the United States to initiate the War on Terror, had a translator named Muhammad Rahim, and according to reports by The Washington Post, this translator, who after bin Laden’s death, was held in Guantanamo Bay, demanded an apology from LeBron James, for taking his talents to South Beach:

Carlos Warner, a lawyer representing Muhammad Rahim, an Afghan who was a translator for Osama bin Laden , gave the Loop a brief letter from his client. That note, which was just declassified, consisted of one line: “Dear Mr. Warner — Majid Khan has a cat.”

In addition to sharing the news of Khan’s cat, Rahim had another thought to share with his lawyer, who, we should note, is from Akron, Ohio.

“Dear Mr. Warner!” he wrote in a separate freshly declassified letter. “LeBron James is very bad man. He should apologize to the city of Cleveland.”

Warner says Rahim’s sentiment about the NBA star who left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat reflects his client’s tribal values, in which loyalty is paramount and “betrayals are not tolerated or forgiven, although an honest apology from an offending peer is valued.”

An incarcerated man who allegedly worked with terrorists who orchestrated mass murders asking for an apology? That’s blasphemy!
