LOS ANGELES -- LeBron James believes Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey "wasn't educated" before sending out the tweet in support of anti-government protesters in Hong Kong that damaged relations between China and the NBA.
Speaking for the first time to the media since Morey's tweet on Oct. 4 set off a firestorm, James declined to comment about the politically tense situation between China and the NBA but did talk about Morey's tweet and the ramifications it has had in jeopardizing the relationship between China and the league, its owners, teams and players.
"I don't want to get into a [verbal] feud with Daryl Morey but I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand and he spoke," James said before the Los Angeles Lakers played the Golden State Warriors at Staples Center in a preseason game.
