Uh, I do believe the proper syntax would have been to say "were educated," LeBron. 

LeBron James on why Ohio voted for Trump: Lack of education

http://hotair.com/archives/2017/09/25/lebron-james-ohio-voted-trump-lack-education/

To cleanse the palate, I think he means "education" in terms of civic education, i.e. familiarity with policy and the candidates' backgrounds, not grade-level achieved. It'd be weird if he didn't since James himself famously skipped college after being drafted number one out of high school. Still, how often do you get to watch a mega-star athlete call the voters of his home state ignorant? This'll be an interesting test to see if there's anything Ohio's favorite son can say or do to piss off his fans. Besides committing to play for another team at the end of a one-hour special devoted to his free agency, I mean. ...

Well, yeah ... I'm sure that's what he meant, too. But, poor LeBron ... he isn't educated enough to coherently convey his meaning using proper English.
