The NBA was understandably excited to start its season and get away from the China controversy that had embroiled the league over the past couple weeks.
However, even more controversy ensued on Tuesday night and on into Wednesday as video surfaced showing LeBron James walking off the court and screaming while the national anthem played.
James faced a firestorm of criticism after saying that Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey “wasn’t educated” on the China-Hong-Kong issue, before he sent a message of support to pro-democracy protesters earlier this month.
While backpedaling, James said that he is not a politician, and said that not “every issue should be everyone’s problem.”
Since that time, James has said he will no longer talk about the NBA-China rift. The Lakers star forward also did not have any comment about his disrespect towards the flag on Tuesday night.

Move the NBA to China.
Just say ‘no’ to cray-cray-ball.
Thanks for posting Grampa Dave.
Living in the US he is treated as a god, anything he wants is given to him in great measure.
If he played in China and disrespected their flag, he would not be killed. He would be shot through both knees, and would be seen working changing light bulbs in a high rise building for the rest of his life.
I would hate for this type of rough justice to be visited on anyone, but that is the difference between what he supports in Chinese slave society, and the fat and happy life in the USA.
King James is dead; Long Live the King.
Globalism and greed has turned the USA into a circus.
LeBron doesn’t care. He’s got his.
It is. And so is the NFL.
Been a circus for years...
He’s done... he’s going to learn a hard lesson... that politics supercedes skin color and Athletic ability.
He can kiss any salary bonuses good bye.
He’s not a bright guy...this will end ugly for him....
Plus, he thought it was alright that one of his teammates was boinking his (LBJ’s) mom regularly.
“...unhinged.”
You are pretty much correct. Over the past decade, he’s wandered around and pretended that he was politically correct on all issues. So now, he’s finally walked into a ‘mine-field’ where he can’t say anything without looking non-politically correct.
He probably has his agent, his publicist, a personal lawyer, a NBA political adviser....all talking to him daily about what to say or avoid.
If you ask me...it’s time for James to retire.
LeBron has the IQ of an amoeba! PHUCK the NBA!
PEKING James
BTTT.
The Dems behind closed doors are grooming him to make a run for the WH.
