    Lebron is a idiot. Morey is privileged & out of the loop. But Morey is kinda on the right side of history technically. The only issue is where the hell has he been since Trump got elected? As far as Lebron, he's been a fraud. He usually takes social issues & makes himself the face of it, like he's some type of savior. In reality he's just marketing himself. Him calling Morey uneducated while admitting he's not fully educated is just horrible PR

    LeBron should really consider going into his "social media shutdown" in the preseason this year instead of the playoffs.

    There is nothing left to be gained from further opening his mouth and will only make things worse.

    HK NBA fans called an urgent rally to stand with Morey after LeBron's comments.

    Lebron was obviously uneducated on what happens when you tweet about something you know nothing about when he tweeted that Morey wasn't educated on the Hong Kong issue.

    CP3 is the only smart people out there since his only answer is, "I don't know no nuthin to comment about it."

    Our country (like all others) is certainly not without its' warts and faults
    What country in the world has not developed in any other way than violence and hostile takeover?
    Sad, but true.

    But, what has the US Constitution done for the world?
    It was, and has been, an example and model for the world.
    Again, at the time of its' conception and signing, there were no other countries such as this.
    You cite Athens, and the Greek Republic is where the idea of a Republic came from. Yes.
    Some of the ideals and principles we use were derived from their system. Yes.
    But, even Athens, Greece was not identical to what we have now.

    So, America WAS, and still is unique. We are not Greece, part II.
    The balance of powers between 3 branches of government, for instance.

    Aside from its' faults, it's still the greatest country in the world.
    And you and I get to enjoy it together
    GO ROCKETS!

    Lebron all about domestic civil liberties and defends a country who doesn’t respect the same thing. All because he doesn’t want to earn less money despite the fact he is basically a billionaire.

    **** him.

    Standing up is easy when it comes with no cost. Only true warrior like Morey would stand up when there's a cost.

    TBH I doubt Morey would stand up had he known the consequence. It was said that he deleted the tweet immediately after he got complaints from Chinese on Twitter.

    LeBron now says he's done talking about the China situation. Too late! Talk about stepping in it. LeBron has been crushed by almost all the talking heads who usually give him a free pass for anything he says.

    Everything was calming down and then LeBron decided to open his mouth.

    How is he privileged and out of the loop? He was raised in a middle class family, went to public k-12 and got into Northwestern and MIT doing computer science and statistics.

    He's smarter than you. He every well knew the consequences.

    You would have to be a naive dumb person to believe that he didn't know the consequences.

    I doubt Morey would have taken it down because he got complaints from China. He most likely took it down because of Silver Fertita and anyone that has dirty Chinese Money in their pocket.

    More proof that the majority of athletes, especially the thoughtless ones, should not given the platform that we as fans allow them to have.

    Can't get mad at them when we find out they care mainly for their own pocketbook. Lebron just proved that he doesn't care for the world's well being; he cares for only his own.
