    Basketball star LeBron James posted a screenshot of the article on Instagram, expressing how unfair Lori getting to choose her prison is.

    "Of her what!!??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣," LeBron said. "I’m laughing, 'cause sometimes you have to, just to stop from crying."

    "Don’t make no damn sense to me. We just want the same treatment if committed of [the] same crime that’s all."

    "Is that asking for too much?" James continued. "Let me guess, it is, huh. Yeah I know!

    "We’ll just keep pushing forward and not expecting the handouts! STRONG, BLACK & POWERFUL! 🙏🏾✊🏾👑."
