Lebron is saying that Morey was ignorant of the consequences of his tweet

A tweet he should have never sent out given his position as a top level NBA executive and the particular significance of the Houston Rockets to Chinese basketball

Whats Yao Ming think of all this? By most accounts, a swell stand up guy and doing what he can to change China from within. Then Morey undercuts him. Well intentioned or not, its a dick move.

Why shouldn't Morey have sent the tweet?

I'm not "outraged," but glad the NBA is being outed a bit after being propped up as the woke league when the NFL had political issues. Everyone is woke until it hits their bottom line. And I'm not even mad about that, but just be honest about it like the goat MJ was

I think Durant is a b***h I still watch games he is in. I am not outraged by NBA and Lebron showing everyone they are only 'woke' when profitable, that's actually not surprising.

Dyansty with a great take on this topic. 4ml, do you not want us to say anything about Lebron because you love him? He voluntarily gets involved on social/political issues a lot. This is fair game

Lol I'm asking you to punish Lebron and the NBA by not watching it - just posting something on a msg board isn't doing anything. Boycott them. Make your voice actually count.

lol go further and not purchase anything associated with China.

From your Chinese assembled Apple products to all your kid's toys to probably 70% of anything you own or use

If you're one of the ppl who are so outraged by NBA's response - and expect others to speak up - then yes...do as you ask other to do.

Nothing wrong with calling out Lebron and the league. Just saying if you care about Hong Kong and what China is doing - then stop supporting businesses that will continue to cave to China.

If you continue to buy Chinese goods bc they're cheap and easily available while being upset with the actions of Chinese govt then I think you're being hypocritical.

Good luck with that, Dynasty. People have been barking up this tree as long as I can remember.

If you really care about what China is doing in Hong Kong - don't forget, don't buy, use, and consume Chinese made goods. Don't shop at businesses that continue to purchase Chinese goods.

But, see that's inconvenient and expensive to do. Easier to blame the NBA when American consumers enable China everyday.

I don't care that much. Just like many people were "outraged" after the political stuff with the NFL and their ratings dipped... this year, everyone is back and the ratings have increased. I'm not outraged on this, just glad the NBA can't play the "woke" card for a while because they care about money over everything just like every other corporation.

That's not realistic for most folks. You know that. Easy cop out

No I know but I think 4ml and Lebron is next level.

I think we have beaten this one enough. Season is around the corner and someone let Lebron know tomorrow is Wonton Wednesday.

Thats what I mean. People have been trying to tell him to not take it personally for as long as I can remember. But he continues to treat an insult or criticism of Lebron the same as if someone insulted or criticized his mother. Dont even bother at this point.
