"I believe he [Houston GM Daryl Morey] wasn't educated on the situation at hand," James told reporters Monday. The Los Angeles Lakers star later clarified his remarks on Twitter. "Let 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," he said The controversy started when Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey tweeted an image that read "Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong." Morey has since deleted the tweet but the response from Chinese companies and the public was swift, with many suspending ties with the Rockets, one of the most popular teams in China because of its former star center, Yao Ming. ----- LINK: https://www.voanews.com/usa/lebron-james-weighs-china-nba-tensions
