LeBron James believes Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey was misinformed on what the reaction would be to the tweet he sent in support of protesters in Hong Kong.
“I’m just talking about the tweet itself,” James said. “You never know the ramifications that can happen. And we all seen what that did. Not only did for our league, but for all of us in America, for people in China as well. And sometimes you have to think through things that you say that may cause harm not only for yourself but for the majority of the people. I think that’s just a fine example.”
James spoke at Staples Center on Monday before the first of the Lakers’ two home exhibitions this season, both against the Golden State Warriors. It was the first time he had spoken to reporters since before leaving the United States toLet me clear up the confusion. I do not believe there was any consideration for the consequences and ramifications of the tweet. I’m not discussing the substance. Others can talk About that.My team and this league just went through a difficult week.
“That’s my belief. That’s all I can say. I believe he was either misinformed or not really educated on the situation, and if he was, then so be it.”
