    Lebron has started his "More than an athlete" Nike campaign.

    Comes out and says "I'm just like MJ, Chinese buy sneakers, too."

    Look, eventually this is going to get uglier before it gets better.

    It's not the leagues that should worry about controversy, it's China that should worry about controversy. They are the ones running re-education camps.

    C'mon mang.

    Morey didn't even mention those camps, he might not even have thought about them.

    HK protesters did because they wanted another issue to back their own but that issue is happening thousand of miles away from them.

    The NBA got nothing to do with that. That is some indirect matter.

    Morey isn't stupid. He may not have thought through the ramifications of how his tweet could impact things financially and how it may cost his job but he it's clear he knows what he tweeted when he was standing for HK. The backtacking and back peddling afterwards was just a PR stunt forced on him by Fertitta and probably the NBA as well. If you can't see that you're really naive.

    I can’t believe he actually said his team has been through a difficult week. Come on dude.

    High School grad says the guy with a MBA from MIT is uneducated.

    Guy worrying about his own pocketbook says the guy speaking in defense of people being murdered on a subject that he can't possibly personally profit from is being selfish and only thinking of himself.

    Yup. Seems about right for 'murica these days. LBJ should run for President.

    Exactly. I would like to know what made their week difficult. Did someone have diarrhea or something or was watching Dwight Howard get out-rebounded difficult?

    This is deja vu and how LeBron handled Darfur years ago. lol "Ask me anything about America. Other countries and their human rights being violated? I didn't even know there are other countries out there"

    No one would say the same thing if this was Nazi Germany. No one would say "NBA has nothing to do with that." They would say "Are you supporting this or not?"

    For Lebron, you can't be quoting MLK "Injustice anywhere..." and then turn a blind eye to this.

    "Could have waited a week to send it" is the most hilarious part of the tweet from noted selfless humanitarian LBJ.

    I'm sure of everything that happened around this tweet, and everything going on in HK and China, the one thing that Morey is most regretful about is the fact that LBJ had to get his meal in a private room at the restaurant with three Michelin stars.

    Let's call every right wing populist a nazi then! Here we go again.

    I think the Nazi word is probably thrown around here a lot, and the real Neo Nazis are out there.

    Skinheads and such.....and still in Germany and other Euro countries.

    it's nice to see this clown get exposed for being nothing but a salesman.

    The thing I'm most happy about CP3 being gone is that I don't have to hear his dumb friends' hot takes on what our team is doing wrong.

    WADE WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THE ROCKETS CUTTING MELO?
    MELO WHY WAS HARDEN MEAN TO YOU?
    BRONNY, WHY U NO SIGN THERE?

    self-absorbed, entitled jocks who think they are enlightened renaissance men because they can take a stand years after the country took it.
