On Monday night NBA superstar Lebron James spoke out in defense of the Chinese Communists. The NBA star trashed Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey for tweeting his support for Hong Kong freedom protesters.

And then Lebron lectured reporters on the perils of free speech.

This is the same guy who posted this quote earlier.

Lebron said Daryl Morey’s tweet was “uneducated” and could have hurt a lot of people.

Following Lebron’s remarks protesters torched Lebron James jerseys in Hong Kong.

Protesters also trampled on Lebron jerseys and gathered in a semicircle to watch one burn.

On Wednesday night South Park mocked LeBron James and his uneducated comments against free speech.
