Lebron says Morey's China tweet was dangerous and misinformed.

[yyy]

Can we just address this now cause people are arguing out of both sides of their mouth between now and the day this first happened.

Everyone was quick to point out that the Rockets higher profile in China made this all the worse that Morey posted the tweet, but now this fact is being conveniently thrown out because Morey is not speaking out any further as part of Rockets damage control program.

Morey goes to China multiple times per year.
The Rockets have had double digit players go from the team to the CBA, and some have come back to play for the Rockets again
Many Rockets players have negotiated deals with the Chinese apparel brands
The Rockets have Chinese companies that have ad placements inside Toyota Center
Morey was GM during the time that Yao was in Houston and Zhou Qi was drafted by Morey
From what has been posted on ClutchFans, Morey was made aware of the situation in HK by people he knows that actually live there.

Morey is by far more acquainted with China, being in China, and Chinese culture than the average American.

It can be strongly argued that he didn't know what the level of response would be by the Chinese government, but to say he has no context or information on China and how they operate is flat out wrong

It's not wrong. White people interact with Black people all the time in America. Does that mean they know how it feels when I see a video of an unarmed Black Man being gunned down by a police officer?

It’s amazing how the Chinese are able to stifle free speech of corporate America

wasn’t opening up of markets supposed to democratize things? Another lie

Blame Regan

I don't have a problem with what LeBron said. The Lakers and Nets had to actually go over to China and deal with that shyt in person right after Morey tweeted that shyt.

This isn't on the players to make a statement. This starts and ends with Morey, the Rockets and Silver. It's on them to deal with the fallout.

bron

Even tho I get what he's saying cause he was over there when that shyt popped off but still

Did you really not read the first sentence of my post that you quoted? Because if he doubles down he loses his job because no one in this league (which has proven to be spineless in the last week) has come to his defense. The second he steps out again, he's getting sniped from both sides

so he can decide after the fact to look after his own pockets but Lebron and nba players who never started this shyt in the first place are hypocrites
We know what Ali would have said tho

oh my god this thread did numbers


@lebron u f'd up

I didn't say he knew "exactly how it feels". I said he has context and information to a higher degree than the average American.


You negated none of the contextual factors I listed.

Here we go with the "my idol made dumb hypocritical statements but I'm gonna call anyone that disagrees a c00n" narrative that you dudes. Run with. Pathetic and shameful.

I didnt call anyone a c00n. If you choose to align with white supremacists and the Jason Whitlock's of the world enjoying this, do you.

What is this idol nonsense? The hate blinds you. Bu bu bu it's just on the basketball court. Stan wars are rotting your brain

Funny thing is, I didn't even give my opinion on the comments smh

 

[RammerJammer]

I know the NBA will be glad with all this shyt is over talk about a PR disaster.

Why do you assume people "enjoy" this? I could give a fukk about any of this. But those of you needing to defend bron when he clearly saying stupid ass shyt is amusing, and Im pointing that out

One time f*** that cac Morey, China, Hong Kong, and Amerikkka.​

 

[Trece]

he should've said nothing come on bron

When is it ever a good look for a celebrity to stick up for a communist country over got damn college age protestors.

 

[Trece]

I mean really can anyone point out a time where LeBron took a brave stand? Going after Trump isn't brave, nobody likes him

When Tamir Rice was murdered in Cleveland by cops, LeBron didn't do or say shyt

Going after Trump is easy AF...

Dude takes the same stands as Jew-Z
All financial ones.
