If you have read any of my fan posts lately, you know that I am from Hong Kong, where freedom protests are ongoing. Last week, a supportive tweet from Rockets GM Daryl Morey started an international firestorm between the NBA, its fans, and the Chinese government — threatening the ties between the league, one of the world’s largest markets, and the communities that overlap the two. In future posts, I’ll have a lot to say about the current state of Hong Kong, the demonstrations, and the government’s reactions to those demonstrations, but first I wanted to react to the comments that LeBron James recently made.
