LeBron James believes Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey "was either misinformed or not really educated on the situation" regarding the potential consequences of his actions when he tweeted in support of Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests. 먹튀검증디비
LeBron and the Lakers just recently returned from China after playing two preseason games there against the Brooklyn Nets. While the games went on as scheduled, some ancillary events were canceled, and there was no media availability. As such, this was the first time that reporters were able to ask him about what has transpired. The Lakers superstar instead characterized the international incident caused by Morey's tweet as a cautionary tale about the power of social media. I think when we talk about the political side, I think it's a very delicate situation. A very sensitive situation. And I think for me personally, for any of you guys who know me or always cover me, you know that when I speak about something, I speak about something I'm very knowledgeable about. Something that hits home for me. Something I'm very passionate about, and I felt like with this particular situation it was something that not only was I not informed enough about, I just felt like it was something that not only myself of my teammates or the organization had enough information to talk about it at that point in time. And we still feel the same way." The standoff between the NBA and China was started by Morey's tweet on Oct. 4. He sent out an image that read, simply, "Fight for freedom. Stand with Hong Kong." He faced immediate backlash, with Chinese fans swarming his Twitter account. It didn't take long for the issue to reach the upper echelons of the Chinese government. In the ensuing days, Chinese state television CCTV issued a strong statement disagreeing with the league's stance on the matter, while Tencent, the NBA's official broadcast partner in China, announced plans to suspend all business relations with the Rockets, including no longer broadcasting their games. "When I speak about something, I speak about something I am very knowledgeable about, something that hits home for me, something that I am very passionate about," James said. "I felt like with this particular situation, it was something that not only was I not informed enough about, I just felt like it was something that not only myself and my teammates or our organization had enough information to even talk about it at that point in time, and we still feel the same way." A Rockets spokesperson didn't immediately respond to request for comment Monday night on James' remarks.
