Opinion | Robert Silverman: What did LeBron James say about China that nearly everyone else in the NBA hasn't said, too? - NBCNewsTHINK
that he saw little upside in speaking up about the situation when the league wouldn't.
"Morey wasn't there to answer questions, he countered. Silver hadn't spoken to the media in China, either. Why would this fall on the players to address?", in paraphrase, that he said."James told the room that it was too much for the players to take on in that moment — to explain a complicated issue with racial, socio-economic and geopolitical layers while visitors in China," he is said to have added.
But the moment that James returned to the States and opened his mouth, the worries that plagued him in Shanghai proved prescient. On Tuesday evening, James said it was his belief that Morey was “either misinformed or not really educated on the situation” with the NBA and China and insisted that the Rockets general manager hadn’t properly considered the repercussions of his words."So many people could have been harmed, not only financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually."
