Ellen Pompeo Slams Laura Ingraham For Telling LeBron and Kevin Durant to 'Shut Up and Dribble'

"Someone tell this bitch to meet me outside. I'm so not in the mood for playing nice or polite this week," Ellen Pompeo tweeted, after Ingraham's comments went viral.

She continued, tweeting:

Pompeo was one of the many who called out Ingraham's remarks, which she made in response to a video interview the two basketball players did with Uninterrupted. "The climate is hot," James said. "The number one job in America, the appointed person is someone who doesn't understand the people and really don't give a f-ck about the people."

"At this time right now with the president of the United States, it's at a bad time and while we cannot change what comes out of that man's mouth, we can continue to alert the people that watch us, that listen to us, that this is not the way," he continued. "It's not even a surprise when he says something. It's like laughable. It's laughable, and it's scary."

Durant echoed James's thoughts, saying it comes down to leadership.

"I learned that playing basketball," Durant said. "I learned a lot of life skills from playing basketball... You need to encourage people and that's what builds a great team, and I feel like our team as a country is not ran by a great coach."

On Thursday night, Ingraham said the duo's comments were "barely intelligible" and had an "ungrammatical take."

"I'm numb to this commentary -- like must they run their mouths like that?" Ingraham said. "Look, there might be a cautionary lesson in LeBron for kids: This is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to join the NBA and it's always unwise to seek political advice from someone who gets paid a hundred million dollars a year to bounce a ball. Oh, and LeBron and Kevin: You're great players, but no one voted for you. Millions elected Trump to be their coach so keep the political commentary to yourself or, as someone once said, shut up and dribble."

Other athletes and media figures, including NFL star Chris Long, Dwyane Wade, ESPN's Jemele Hill and Ja Rule all slammed Ingraham -- see more comments below:
