Hong Kong protesters slam LeBron James for comments about China, free speech

The King no longer reigns supreme in Hong Kong.

Lakers superstar LeBron James took a hit in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory, where basketball fans trampled on jerseys bearing his name after the four-time MVP waded into the NBA controversy involving the country.

On Monday, James touched a nerve among protesters in the former British colony for suggesting that free speech can have negative consequences.

They have been protesting for months in support of the same freedom that James argued can carry “a lot of negative.”

The demonstrators chanted support for Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey, something of a hero among protesters in Hong Kong for having tweeted in support of their struggle — infuriating authorities in China.

“People are angry,” said James Lo, a web designer who runs a Hong Kong basketball fan page on Facebook.

All the NBA anti American government group from coaches to players are getting slammed for being hypocrites
Here they slam the government and all the liberals run out and buy jerseys so they get billion dollar deals from Nike and so fourth, but if they don’t kiss the oppressive Chinese ass they get their jerseys pulled out of outlets and don’t get their billion dollar advertisement contacts, so they “We apologize. We love China," Harden said while standing next to Houston Rockets teammate Russell Westbrook.
So seems all those outspoken hero’s of the left are just money hungry hypocritical assholes and do and say whatever it take to make a buck

Well we knew it was about money. This clears things up a bit!

‘Space Jam 2’ may be why LeBron James is now a hated man

“The movie is perfect for China, which has more people playing recreational basketball than any other country,” said Mulligan, who now runs the Brooknol Advisors entertainment consulting firm in Los Angeles.

“And it would deny LeBron lots of money if it doesn’t play there.”

 
Shanghai James, the social justice pocketbook warrior

In a closed-door meeting in Shanghai, James reportedly asked Silver what he was going to do about the Morey tweet and whether discipline was going to be handed down. Silver disagreed that any punishment was warranted because no player or coach is penalized for criticizing President Trump.

Turns out Silver was lying to try and make the NBA look good
Is anything about these NBA justice warriors true, seems they’re not only hypocrites but sociopaths as well


clear that we were being asked to fire him, by the Chinese government, by the parties we dealt with, government and business,” he said. “We said there's no chance that's happening. There's no chance we'll even discipline him.
But on Friday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said no request was made.
 

Enes Kanter rips ‘disgusting’ LeBron James over Nike connection​

Enes Kanter continued his war against Nike on Thursday, sparing no words while ripping into LeBron James.

Kanter, who has previously accused Nike of telling a “total lie” about China’s alleged use of slave labor to produce its products, aimed this round at Nike’s biggest star.

Money over Morals for the ‘King,’ ” the Celtics center tweeted Thursday morning. “Sad & disgusting how these athletes pretend they care about social justice.”

The tweet included an image of several pairs of sneakers designed to question the NBA’s partnership with China.
