LeBron decided to double down on his comments about China, Hong Kong, and the NBA.
What he is saying isn’t incorrect, but when you have been at the forefront of social justice issues essentially saying that since it isn’t an issue he doesn’t relate to, so he isn’t going to condemn it, people are going to have to have strong feelings about it.
LeBron says he won’t speak about it again and said it is because it isn’t fair to the Lakers.
“I plan on being here and being a captain of this team and trying to figure out how we can win a championship,” James said when asked whether he plans to learn more about the anti-government protests in Hong Kong. “That’s my main goal right now. I feel like I talked about it yesterday. I tweeted out responses to people not understanding my knowledge and where it came from with my brain and learning from the situation. I’m talking about it now. I won’t talk about it again.
