LeBron James is facing accusations of hypocrisy on both sides of the Pacific for characterizing Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey as 'misinformed' after the NBA team executive ignited an international dispute between the league and China by tweeting out his support for pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong last week.
Around 200 demonstrators in the city burned James's jersey at a playground on Tuesday amid signs reading, 'Stand with HK; Stand with Morey.'
Many of the activists were seen wearing the replica jerseys of other NBA players.
Some protesters posted pictures of James holding oversized Chinese currency, referencing his vast financial interests in China. Others utilized the famous portrait Mao Zedong, replacing the likeness of the deceased communist leader with that of James.

Very good.
Bump!
Good, I wish I owned one, I’d burn it too. He’s an embarrassment, the whole League is, except for one or two people. You know, I know the MSM, etc. loved the Russkies back in the day, but I don’t remember anybody kissing the Soviet’s collective butt this way.
Dats WACISS!
Oh wait, China people can’t be waciss...they not white!
Nevah mind...NBA Commies be cool
Good going, LeEinstein! You could have stayed out of it, but you were told all your life how smart you are! You have become the face of bloodied corporate ass-kissing!
Never liked the NBA.
College hoops are much more entertaining, IMO.
Sell the NBA to Xi and move their asses to Beijing ASAP.
LeBron may find out that there will be many burnings of his jerseys not only in HK, but also in the PRC. The PRC government does not reflect the views of its people.
When you’re ignorant as a brick you should just keep your mouth shut and listen LeBron.
Gee Mark Cuban says he wants to be president. What is he saying about this? Crickets?
I thought it said...King Kong protestors...lol.
Would it be evil of me to say: “Too bad he wasn’t wearing it at the time.”?
Was never a fan
Too bad Lebron wasn’t wearing the jersey at the time. He might have learned something useful had he been.
This asshole ALWAYS uses the phrase “THEY ARE NOT EDUCATED”..
He used it Ohio to describe Trump Voters when he whored himself for Hitlery in 2015.
Same thing here on the ESPN interview..
For some idiot who didnt finish high school, you’ve got balls to call us “uneducated”..
LeBron, this subject is complicated. Stay out of it unless you’re willing to do so require reading, followed by westernized logic. We are not talking about one of your Rap Idols here. China is still bloody with communism. Stop letting them fool/use you.
STFU and play ball Homer.
LOL!
Lebron James is a b_tch. Steve Kerr is a c_nt. Neither adjective is a good look.
