Four years ago, back when it seemed impossible that the NBA would be in a bitter feud with the Chinese government because of a tweet, LeBron James had to explain why he didn’t want to discuss a sensitive issue, even when it seemed like he was qualified to contribute to the national conversation.
A grand jury had declined to indict a police officer who had shot and killed a 12-year-old named Tamir Rice in Cleveland, and James was under pressure to use his position as the planet’s greatest basketball player and his city’s most...
ronniechoichoi He don’t care millions of people locked in the camp and learn how to be Chinese. He don’t care the murderer bloody suppression the people. He also don’t care how many people live under high pressure and fair. He just care his business.
Read the comments. They’re like this everywhere. NbausK

Carefully? LeBron endorses Hillary - LeBron campaigns w/ Hillary - LeBron calls Trump supporters 'uneducated' - LeBron calls Trump a 'bum' & 'hateful' - LeBron attacks Trump on border wall
Not for me...
BoycottLebron
Not. Big deal... he is in bed with Nike
KingJames is a pathetic coward who only understands one thing. Money. 'Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.' LeBronShames LeBronJames
Shame on him, he sold his soul to money and he blames someone else who got bones. LeBron is not only uneducated but also lack of humiliation.

LeBron is a weak joke who belongs in China with xi! We should cut China off completely! Anyone supporting China should be forces to live there!
评论里一群香港民主卫士 实际上除了躲在家发推没干过啥正经事 感觉像是”转发过万香港就赢啦”似的 看着你们我都着急 把香港的未来寄托在你们身上么……
What a dope! He needs to get a formal education and understand what communism is. He should be talking about the benefits of capitalism. LeBron, it’s capitalism that is why you’re rich. What a hypocrite! Do what you’re told in China, and shut up!
GodofLab He disparaged everyone in the USA that's not a complete moron. Make no mistake, Human Rights Civil Rights. He green-lighted CPC authoritarianism, with a full nba endorsement. Hong Kong and mainland China workers should refuse to make his garb(age). IStandWithHongKong
What day do dat fo?
Kid. You should be re-educated.
Ask LeBron if he thinks the World is flat.
I guess we know who the “uneducated” one on this issue is....
“We will definitely not shut up and dribble... I mean too much to society, I mean too much to the youth, I mean too much to so many kids that feel like they don’t have a way out and they need someone to help lead them out of the situation they’re in” -Lebron in 2018
LeBron is well informed about how much his China income / investment worth for giving up democracy FreeHongKong LiberateHongKong hongkongpolicebrutality
LeBron James should have kept his yapper tightly shut, now he has removed all doubt about his incompetence
He don’t know shit about rest of the world ,except basketball which is popular here ! You r misinformed broo
Freedom doesn’t come free. There’s always people that will fight to take it from you
Everyone has an opinion and a lane.
This is his real face...it was always about the money.
Lebron only cares about color when he wants to be an activist: The color of your skin, the color of your passport, and most importantly, the color of money.
He is all about himself and money
What a national disgrace 🤡😡
Black lives matter, Asian lives don’t
andywu54330598 LeBron James is my forever idol.
LeBron is neither as smart or as good as he thinks he is.
RussWKYC He's a basketball player. He's not a bright guy.
Burn (those jerseys), baby, burn!
LeBron, we understood. Better to join Xi instead of ......
He is right! Why are u attacking him for speaking the truth. I used to hate LeBron and am a fan now
Americans still use their moral ethics to blame others, even if they always say freedom of speech, this is indeed ironic.
Its just good business. NBA
LiBron Xi
Dear dumb athletes: Do NOT try to act smart. It never works.
If Lebron wanna more money,he should be shut up. BUT WHY HE STILL SAID THAT?For Freedom or For the Truth🧐
LB is idiot with communists
Dog shit!
What about “free speech”? Why “free speech” undercut his reputation?
He didn’t pick any side and that made him a villain?
There is no conscience in Le￥ James' heart.
Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. War is Peace. I think that sums up his stance.
KingJames 😝👎🏻🤣
Play basketball! Now he knows what it really takes to play in a nasty game. One of which he isn’t even close to competing!!
Lebron has many business investments, so is easy to see that he wants into the Chinese market. This also why he easily got on his knees.
James has the right to voice his opinion.
Maybe LeBron is the one who has been misinformed and uneducated
All about the Benjamin’s baby
He should stick to basketball. Don’t know how being a star on the court automatically makes you an expert on world affairs.
LeBronJames LeBron, your lord. Don’t be misinformed. antichinazi
Just speak your mind, don't let the blind leads you.
What image did he cultivate I’m sorry? A jumpy arrogant egoistic player? His recent tweet is quite consistent w his ‘image’
Now i see how the western media brainwash people by taking advantage of people who truly want the freedom and distort the fact that really happened or someone's saying.
LeBronJames LeBronShames
Impossible
The ones who criticize James the most are unsurprisingly the ones that represent the fascist right. Use it as an excuse to undermine the social justice issues that he's advocating for within the US. If you think about it, this's the kind of method that Putin likes & uses heavily.
kingjame$
Many Hong Kong rioters here! If someone doesn’t like Hong Kong rioters, mobs, they will attack or insult them! Shame on these Hong Kong rioters! If you say something they don’t like,they will bully you!this is HK rioters’ democracy and freedom!
LeBron James = Fake Michael Jordan
Stick to trash opinion sections about politics
Licking analoes licking shit🤣🤣🤣🤣
Masta says, eat yoo noodles
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Turns out his true color isn’t even green.... it’s RED
You call his previous record “speaking carefully?”
Yes, please speak for the issues facing Hong Kong. We’re listening. 🙄
LeBron didn't say anything wrong,you have no idea what's happening in Hongkong.Or you media just hide all the truth from people deliberately.SHAME！
Hypocrisical nation
He need that China Space Jam money badly I see
Who cares?
Yes, he even denied that locker room talk existed. Believed by no one with a brain.
Probably he ain’t mean to kowtow to Communist China. Probably he just wanna protect the welfare(wealth) of his NBA bros. But this show he’s just a “justice fighter” within his comfort zone - when his wealth (not to mention his life) won’t be harmed at all.
LeHypo
King $bags has toppled.
LeBron be all like: I want ma sweet'n'sour pork more sweeter than sour. Ain't we not free until all of us free, James?
See, there is no freedom of speech as long as others are not speaking the opinions you want to hear.
Dumb. This one incident doesn’t “undercut” a lifetime of hardwork and dedication. Let’s not get too carried away WSJ.
Shut up and dribble KingJames
Social justice is not something you do when it's convenient! Hopefully he learns his lesson!
What a fall from grace. Our heroes do have feet of clay.
Just another greedy one-percenter KingJames
That’s what you get when you stand AGAINST the PEOPLE!!
All about the money
two (2) words... Colin Kaepernick. stands for the proposition, that in America, you may exercise your right to “free speech,” but you may find yourself shut-out from your chosen profession. puts China & the NBA in an interesting light, don’t it?
A mentally challenged hypocrite. Get bent LeDouche!
LeWong James screwed the pooch...
9 year KingJames fan Sorry LeBron, hope you can have good season in Lakers
RIP LeBron.
