I was so excited to see how Russ and Harden would do reunited, along with the prospect of several different title favorites and the LA/LA rivalry heating up but

LeBron's comments really let the mask slip and showed what these people value and who they'll shill for. I never thought I'd see perhaps the greatest american athlete of my lifetime get down on his hands and knees and lick boots for a Chinese paycheck, but here we are.

the whole thing has just left a disgusting taste in my mouth and my excitement for what should've been a fantastic season is completely decimated. It's sad.

In the past I exclaimed my anger at Morey for what he tweeted and the timing of it, but I didn't realize at the time how it would expose people around the league so it ended up being for the better, even if this outcome sucks.

You aren't an actual basketball fan then. Not surprising from a Duke fan.

I don't think Lebron speaks for the entire NBA or all the players. I would like to believe the best about players I actually like anyway. It does a lot of damage to the image of the NBA though, I agree. I'm honestly baffled on why he said what he did.

I think it's pretty obvious why he chose to throw a colleague under the bus and shill for a fascist regime. $$$

Its a shame this isn't later in the NBA season because all the Lakers fans are blind right now. End of the season when they realize they are still mediocre he probably gets all the boos for it.

Obviously. You are okay with the athletes getting up and worshipping the US flag and troops every game, despite the fact our empire does exactly every single thing people oppose about China. Nobody cares that these guys take these explotative shoe company blood money or wear corporate logos on their jerseys. Like jakyl says, no ethical consumption within an unjust system. But suddenly you have a responsibility to stand up when the bad guy is Chinese. It seems racist. Nationalistic at best. If you can't enjoy the NBA without it's athletes being activists, you can't enjoy the NBA, because we all know what happens to athletes who stand up for the unacceptable causes. You can be woke, but you can't go after power. And you only care because it's Chinese dudes I guess.

No we don't. We have a ton of people openly against our President(Hell, a majority of people lol) and no one is vanishing from our streets for their views.

We have so much more freedom than they do and you shouldn't take it for granted.

Jordan would have just said nothing and been better off for it

Jordan > LeBron forever

also how are we defining greatest athlete of our lifetime here

I mean the answer is Jordan either way unless you're measuring by total number of titles, relative dominance of their sport, or something like that but I'm curious

dude we have more people in prison than any nation that has ever existed and "being against the president" is not freedom, we literally can do nothing to oppose the government without the fucking militarized police going after you. we are completely pacified to oppose power in any way.

Seems off topic. No one was comparing the Chinese and American governments in this topic. Most of the NBA is openly against Trump anyway, which makes it rather strange with this China stuff. I suppose chocking it up to money makes sense, but honestly I'm still under the belief that the majority of the NBA isn't this tied down. Lebron is a pretty shitty person and he's proven that in numerous other situations before; I think this is just him being a Lebron.

the things you can't get away with opposing without being killed or imprisoned are supported by both political parties. and we don't get to fucking elect the cops or the intelligence agents that enforce the will of global capital.

like is this really where we draw the line lol

do you people not remember standing rock? people are facing 100 years in prison for protesting there. we literally have unaccountable secret prisons where they torture people without charge. they can see and listen to your cellphone and laptop, etc.

the reason you can oppose our president is because the opposition is 99% the same thing as the president.
