Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James criticized Donald Trump’s “locker room talk” and called it “trash talk” as he addressed reporters on Wednesday.

In a video tape, obtained by The Washington Post and NBC News, Trump is talking to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush and describes trying to have sex with a married woman and brags about women letting him kiss and grab them because he is famous. Trump responded to critics by calling his predatory, sexual comments about women from a 2005 video as “locker room talk.” 

“What is locker room talk to me? It's not what that guy said. We don't disrespect women in no shape or fashion in our locker rooms. That never comes up. I've got a mother-in-law, my mom, a wife and a daughter and those conversations just don't go on in our locker room.”

Watch James' full comment below:

CJ McCollum and Jamal Crawford are among the NBA players that took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with Trump's comments.

James has already endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Ohio is expected to be a swing state on election day.
