LeBron James: Morey 'wasn't educated on the situation' when he tweeted in support of HK protestors

LeBron James said he thinks Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey "wasn't educated on the situation at hand" when he tweeted in support of Hong Kong.

James told reporters Monday that people need to be careful about what they tweet and say as there can be ramifications.

"I don't want to get into a ... feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand and he spoke," James said.

He added that people could have been harmed "not only financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually."

LeBron tweeted later clarifying his comments saying he did not think "there was any consideration for the consequences and ramifications of the tweet."

"I'm not discussing the substance," he tweeted. "Others can talk about that."

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) called out the basketball star for his comments, saying he was "parroting communist propaganda."

The only people more stupid than Lebron James are the idiots who fork over their money to watch him play a stupid ball game.

LOL....Lebron talking about someone not being educated.

IF this guy couldn't shoot a basketball he'd be hanging off the back of a garbage truck somewhere.

Lebron's hypocrisy is really shining on this issue. He's real quick to jump on Trump of support kapernut and his ilk....YET, when the good people of Hong Kong protest against a COMMUNIST government...he shuts up because of the Chinese TV market.

POS illiterate gives his dumbass opinion. You can bet he and his cohorts like Kaeperdink would not dream of not standing at attention during the Chinese national anthem.

And you aren’t educated, moron. When I need help in basketball, I will ask an expert (Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson), when I want info on Hong Kong, I’ll ask someone who is IN HONG KONG!! Okay, idiot?

I don’t know, perhaps he would be running for a political office?

Sasse and Rubio love to run their mouths on China to no effect. It’s a cheap shot for them. No campaign donations are coming from there.

The NBA is a charade. They don’t play by the rules.

What can you expect from people who make a living playing a game at a professional level, that ignores the rules of the game.

Pointing that out isn’t an inane post.

Y’know, I bet China’s using this “outrage” as cover to get the NBA out of their country; they don’t want “thug life” in their country.

A sad day when I side with Communists, but...

But do they need a cover? Seems to me they wouldn’t. And they invited them in in the first place.

As for James, what a POS. But that’s not breaking news.

If they don’t want to known as the worst thing EVA, “RACISS”, then, yes.

It’s funny when protected group goes against protected group.
