Maybe he did it because he cares about the people of Hong Kong. Is it wrong to put others first before your own interests once in a while?

If we're going to dismiss the NBA players' safety as an actual concern, and ignore the bullshite about mental and spiritual well being, his only issue was financial. In light of what's actually taking place on the ground in HK, his concern...after clarification...is his money.


I don't think you can dismiss the players' safety. It's not out of this world to believe something could have happened to them during the geopolitical storm that ensued.

That being said, yeah, LeBron was mad that he was inconvenienced by the tweet. As I've said many times, the NBA is simply tone deaf on the matter. They're not taking a hardline stance with China that will actually appease them, and they've managed to continually piss off more people in the states. It's pretty hard to piss off both sets of people, but leave it to the NBA apparently.

Lol dude China is not going to do anything to an American NBA player. You definitely can dismiss that.

Of course not, but I'm not sure this was the way to go about it, especially since he took the tweet down anyway.

I'm not talking about the government. I'm thinking more along the lines of a radical government supporter.

I don’t think you get “radical government supporters” in China. You get “state employees.”

And you vastly underestimate how much propaganda they receive growing up that tells them to ignore western 'lies' on such topics. The sheer fact that he is holding a pro gov stance (seems that way so far) on 1989 lends credibility to that statement. Just because they have access


Not much propaganda on Tianamen in China as Chinese dissidents say the government mostly ignores it/ suppresses it . There is a simple sentence or 2 about the ' June 4 unrest " or "riots" in history books.

They are well aware that some students & workers were killed ,but looked at the transformation the Communist party has made in a once downtrodden China . Our govenrments helped give China propaganda.

He has been an uneducated loon for quite a while.

It’s just reached a head since he joined the Lakers and his dysfunction got even more notice, if that is actually possible.

That's what I mean. They're indoctrinated to be convinced it was all just small unrest that the government handled correctly and properly. Anything else the West hands them is considered bullshite.

They're still a developing country, and the only reason they've developed at all really is due to heavy trade with the West, not the communist party.

Nike can do their part by sending the rest of their LeBron Laker 32 jerseys to HK as a humanitarian effort.

Then LeBron gets to switch numbers and AD gets to be 32.

Win-win-win.

I knew either Damon Jones or Kendrick Perkins would be on The Jump today to carry Lebron's water and here's Perk.

Perk is so dependent on LeBron that LeBron claims him on his taxes.
