    lebron with one of the all time worst takes by any athlete ever

    "I don't want to get into a [verbal] feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand, and he spoke... I believe he was either misinformed or not really educated on the situation, and if he was, then so be it," James said.

    yep, lebron just called daryl morey "misinformed" for supporting hong kong against the communist chinese aggression.

    he will absolutely never live this down. he must have hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, as the only other possibility for such a fucking absurd position is that china forced the lakers to attend mandatory re-education camp before leaving

    trump should crush him on twitter over this

    Perhaps Lebron just meant he was misinformed as in he didn't read the memo to keep his mouth shut.

    The Hong Kong protests are a joint CIA/Mossad operation.

    I could be wrong, but I don't recall Harden being all woke and faux outraged with all the civil rights nonsense like Lebron. I don't really see him not wanting to get involved as hypocrisy.

    If LeBron spent more time playing blackjack like Jordan maybe he wouldn’t have these problems.

    He did a little damage control right after his owner's faux pas

    Michael Jordan goes down for an all night bender in AC during a playoff series against the knicks and still smashes the shit outta them...

    https://www.jackpot.co.uk/features/2...t-nba-playoffs

    nowadays NBA players complain that they don't get enough rest...

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...dy-knows-about

    this is why Jordan is and will always be the undisputed GOAT...

    Agree except for Kaepernick. He hasn't said anything pro-China, has he?

    I'm not impressed by people who are "woke" up to the point where it costs them money.

    I’m kind of surprised he got caught like this showing his true colors. His mo is always to be passive-aggressive and issue statements by proxy through his lackeys. He’s always been a transparent narcissist if you’re paying attention, but great at not saying the wrong thing.


    I mean Chosen One tattoos and King James shit before he walked into the league would have destroyed pretty much anyone if they didn’t end up being a top 2 all time player and living up to the hype. He’s also incredibly unselfish on the court which has helped maintain his image. Always incredibly efficient.

    I heard Zach Lowe talking about the issue and he said one of his teammates already lost $1 million from a Chinese company. I was kind of half listening and didn’t hear who. I’m thinking his desire to maintain his image as a player advocate overwhelmed his common sense for a moment. Him involved in the union was always self-serving. Basically just to protect his and other superstars’ salaries, not for the betterment of the average player.

    Clearly he realized his misstep and tried to walk it back, but it’s irrelevant. For anyone paying attention, they already knew he was always about himself. He just happens to be a savant at basketball. It won’t haunt him because he’s seen as an advocate for primarily black causes, and the reality is this won’t hurt him a bit because for all the talk of black America fighting the oppressor, the only time they really give a fuck is when it involves other black people. It isn’t like all the talk in the hood barbershop today is about the Kurds getting slaughtered. They wouldn’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about, but they certainly know about the chick getting shot in Texas.

    I mean I’m not losing sleep over the Kurds or oppression in Hong Kong either. I’m largely self-interested like 98% of people. As a white person I’m just better at faking it. Usually Lebrun is too. I can buy jet lag or whatever for Forgetting to put his costume on.

    I don't think he lost his common sense for a moment. I think he had a team, and they sat down and deliberated and decided him issuing this statement was the most +EV move for his brand.

    His brand would take a little bit of a hit here, but that would be mitigated by the massive hit he would have taken in the Chinese market if he has said nothing or had a different statement.

    So basically damage control in a perceived no-win situation.

    Maybe they were right, maybe they were wrong. But I don't think it was uncalculated at all.
