What LeBron does or thinks has nothing to do with what other players think or feel about a specific situation. Generally, nobody cares about NIKE only the people who are employed by them and which LBJ is one of them. LBJ cannot say or advise what other people should do or not, thats not his job or role in the NBA.

Of course this story is being suppressed…left wing media coupled with the very strong and close ties the NBA itself has with the Chinese government…oh and as if the NBA would do anything to sully the name of “King James” their face of the NBA…why would this story have any traction
Outside the US he is recognized for being the reactionary dingus he is.

there is a big difference between wearing some made in China stuff, and making millions/billions of dollars for corporations that actively don't care about human rights while TALKING about social inequalities
exactly. Also LeBron literally has a life time deal with nike essentially worth billions. I don't know many other people in the world who have such a contract..
Lol Why wouldn't you single out the face of the NBA? Lebron is the social justice/face of the NBA, with Chinese jizz on his chin...so Enis is clearly targeting the right dirtball
Gotta respect this guy for standing up to how the league/Nike/lebron bow down to the ccp. This guy knows how the world really works, while lebron just gets his money and has his yes men tell him what to say.
Also why’s it always just Lebron? Like all the stars in the NBA that have brand deals have deals with China Nd all big c npanirs in America clothing shoes exetra have links to China. Legit like nealry half of American have some of their income come from China every year, whether it’s 10%, 1%, 0.1% or 0.0001% evwry gets their pay from CJ ina but every what’s Lebron and his people to lose their money but everyone else to keep theirs it’s very odd
@Trentor15 He indirectly defended China multiple times. Lebron is almost always active in social issues especially human rights. However, every time an issue is involved with China, Lebron is sooooooo quiet. Because he knows that as soon as he denounces China in any way, he might lose millions of dollars.
@Trentor15 He lies a lot of times too. Whenever somebody asks Lebron on how he feels about the issue going on in China, he says ''I don't know what is going on''. Yea right lol. He magically doesn't know what is going on when literally the whole world knows what is happening.
He’s saying it because Lebron has only ever spoken up on issues that won’t affect his bottom line and speaks about them regularly. Kanter is really just calling out the NBA for always preaching convenient narratives.
Actually, Lebron is only speaking on issues that distract people from what he’s really about. You think Nike really went into supporting Kapernick because they believe in what he says? It’s because they don’t want people to pay attention to the atrocities they are supporting.

I love lebron James but him not speaking on China really hurt my stomach I know he's a grown up man so his decision are up to him and we can't force him
NBA is smart, you need China. Basketball is not popular as football so you need to keep quiet about somethings. And even teams investing in China realize stay away from cpc or get away form china.
Why don’t you bitch about the last Nike ambassadors like Kobe and MJ but oh Lebron is at fault cause he never brings it up. Oh and Nike has a white owner but it’s better to go after black people and point the blame to them
The money makes LeBron shoutout to social issues in the US but also keep him silent on social issues in China. He does not care about social justice. He cares about money.
Honest question. Why is what Lebron doing any different than anyone else? He isn't the only one with a signature Nike shoe that is made with slave labor. The NBA Jerseys that he is wearing are sponsored by Nike. What is the crux of the issue. Everyone else seems to ignore the issue as well.

What I just don’t understand is why he’s coming for Bron when literally all his teammates and most basketball friends he has wears and supports Nike. Literally Jayson Tatum is one of the main faces of Nike and I don’t see Kanter coming for him when Tatum claims he was standing for social justice. I didn’t see him come for Jaylen Brown when he was being a big part of the protests last year while also being a big face for Nike.

Idk what’s so hard for you to understand. Lebron is literally the ONLY player with a LIFETIME shoe deal with Nike. Lebron has waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy more pull than any of these other players who wouldn’t be able to do much besides spread awareness like Kanter is doing but they’d be risking facing repercussions that Kanter has faced for speaking his mind and a lot of young stars don’t want all that extra stuff in their lives they want to focus on basketball. Most players just wear Nike and don’t even have their own shoe deal let alone a lifetime deal which will continue after LeFrauds playing career is over. You really can’t compare the power Lebron currently has in the sneaker industry to anyone else besides Michael Jordan.
It's because LeBron spoke out in support for Hong Kong and then China said they were going to ban the NBA viewing in China so LeBron recanted his statement and apologized That's why Kanter is going after him because he's not really for the people just plays the part
Lebron has done more for other people than Kanter could hope to do in a lifetime. His charities have really helped the people of Ohio. Especially poor black communities. At the end of the day, Lebron's actions mean infinitely more than Kanters words.
He didn't attack any Asian athlete, any Italian athlete, any other European athlete or Nike directly... he attacked Lebron directly... and his fellow same shade brethren, said and did nothing... let that sink in...
Literally the entire comment section is white Americans siding with a Turkish Expatriate over a Black American Athlete protesting against police brutality.....
He singled out LeBron because LeBron gets $30 million in endorsement money from Nike annually. The Nike workers in China earn about $500-600/month on average, working long hours in near slave type conditions. LeBron needs to be called out. It's only about the money to him.
Lmao. LeBron can't and will not criticize China and that's fine. But then he shouldn't proclaim himself as this huge figure that stands for Social Justice. He is not on the level of people like Ali.

NBA is smart, you need China. Basketball is not popular as football so you need to keep quiet about somethings. And even teams investing in China realize stay away from cpc or get away form china.
And u think you know everything in china have u ever been? 😏😏😏
Why don’t you bitch about the last Nike ambassadors like Kobe and MJ but oh Lebron is at fault cause he never brings it up. Oh and Nike has a white owner but it’s better to go after black people and point the blame to them
Why you mad at him??? It's not his job to stand up for human rights. It's the government's responsibility. Be mad at Biden or the United Nations
The money makes LeBron shoutout to social issues in the US but also keep him silent on social issues in China. He does not care about social justice. He cares about money.
Honest question. Why is what Lebron doing any different than anyone else? He isn't the only one with a signature Nike shoe that is made with slave labor. The NBA Jerseys that he is wearing are sponsored by Nike. What is the crux of the issue. Everyone else seems to ignore the issue as well.
@@danieljenkins7951 LeBron actively spoke out in support of China and against Morey.
It’s funny how people who have never been to China think they know everything. It’s so funny. That’s like saying a movie is terrible without watching it. It would be like if someone were to leave a one-star review on Yelp for a restaurant that they have never been to. What sense does that make? Visit FIRST then if you don’t enjoy it feel free to voice your thoughts and experience. Do you know why LeBron, Steph, and other NBA stars like China? They’ve BEEN there. One day you can visit Beijing or Shanghai and see for yourself. China isn’t North Korea. If after your visit you don’t enjoy it, feel free to talk all you want. I haven’t been to countries like Russia or Italy, do you see me spew racist hate about their country and their people? I am proud to be Chinese and nothing you or anyone says will change that. :)
Where is Kanter's interview for his side on the matter?
Sad there's not WAY more guys like Kanter
Strange how he didn’t directly address what Kanter said. Almost like he knew Kanter was right.
Or how kanter didn’t address lebron to his face and just walked by strange ..right kanter makin you believe that he cares he doesn’t is Nike F’d up for what they doing yes I agree but he still play in league where the uniform are Nike made
@@francoperrotta4968 We've seen LeBron tell blatant lies many times, Kanter said that encounter never happened at all
He gives his energy on things he doesn’t know nothing about. He is the reason I don’t watch the NBA anymore
Here You are though, watching Lebron😊
@@darabbi360 yeah I thought he was throw some haymakers but just ended up walking away and hiding behind the refs coaches and team mates. Soft ass
@@oogstanks1368 😂😂😂
@@oogstanks1368 stop hating on somebody that don’t even know you exist
@@Readingzz hey this is America I can hate who ever I want stop stompin on my freedom Hater!!!
So glad finally someone isn’t scared to talk against LeBron
Lebron is lefty communist and hes been protected by them and main streem
Media
King James 🐐 Kanter is a weirdo and using his name for clout
Respect to Kanter!!!
You do you Kanter. Believe for what you stand for.
“I dont give energy to anyone” but will talk about any situation he doesnt know a damn thing about
He knows he’s black and how blacks are treated and that’s the only thing he has spoken about 🤷🏿♂️
Turkish people love you Lebron👏🏻👏🏻He is nothing to us even street animals is more lovable !!
You see he didn't attack Jordan.... Air Jordan's been coming from Taiwan since the mid 80s...
yeah but its lebron, all of sudden everyone cares about china lol
Because Jordan was not a hypocrite like Lefraud. Such as Lefraud pretending to care about black Civil rights and BLM (a communist organization) while at the same time not speaking out about the torture and slavery of the people in Hong Kong (where Nike/Lefraud) produces their sneakers.
@@MrWzeljunior This reply sums up everything you need to know about all of the faux outrage over lebron lol. 99% of this faux outrage is coming from white american "conservatives" who dont really care about China's treatment of its citizens , but want to weaponize the issue against Lebron due to his personal politics about domestic issues. You people aren't fooling anyone lol
@@mikegriffin2896 well two things can be true at the same time, they care about the slave labor in China and shove it in Lebrons hypocrite face. Two for the price of one
@@abefroman8821 No no no , you are missing my point. They are do NOT care about “slave labor in china” . If Lebron was a Trump supporter , they wouldn’t give a fuck.
I’ll always have love for Kanter because he’s a stache bro
Finally someone from the NBA who calls him out.
what a double standard. nba defends Lebron and these commentators tried to act like lebron doesnt do the same exact thing that Enes did. Lebron uses people and calls out people on social media all the time without ever "reaching out to them first." what stupid commentary
Much respect to Kanter!
He should make statements against Nike but attacking other players for their sponsorship is just causing drama
Respect to Kanter
For what lol what has he done? Why doesn't he talk about the issues this country has
Its actually good morals vs evil. Caring over greed. Humanity over money. Its fkn sick. Kanter is a great man.
Ennes is a Menace! Love him!
odd
LeBron clueless. Worried about money a fame.
But you’re both ignorant of the Xinjiang situation. In fact the Uyghur population is booming. So if there’s some persecution of the ethnic group, don’t you think the population would be decreasing?
You the man Kanter 💪
According to the announcers kanter needs lebrons approval to have a morally correct and ethically sound opinion. They went after kanter.
kanter is not doing this for his own opportunity, if anything its the complete opposite. James feels attacked and i know why... "the king" is not willing to sacrifice his opportunites for social justice, kanter indeed is and thats the difference.
Lebron could care less if there's people making shoes for just 25 cents an hour. The dude is a millionaire.
*billiion
Why didn’t mf bitch at Kobe and MJ when they were ambassadors tho? I think people have real hate for the man
@@ChaelSonnenEatsLebronsWeiner I would assume because the previous mentioned weren’t so political and involved in matters not relating to their craft. Just an opinion
@@PizzaCake360Lebron political cause he speaks up about what’s going on in his home country?
@@ChaelSonnenEatsLebronsWeiner Like what ? Mythical oppression by the police towards blacks ? This clown knows NOTHING about politics and doesn't say a damn thing about ACTUAL oppression on the other side of the world ?
He was asked a direct question by media and answered them. That’s NOT giving his energy towards him. People love to hate Bron. 😂😂😂
Enes Canter at least spoke out - Thank you!!!
Kanter is a legend
"Enes Kanter doesn't pay my bills...China does. So I will not be giving him my energy"-Lefraud James
Kanter right though. They been talking about the human rights issues with Nike for 20 + years and none of these athletes care. If you asking for justice in your home, ask for it everywhere
I think one should worry about home first. Just my opinion.
@@brandonhunt6870 fax
@@brandonhunt6870 so, this planet. I agree.
@@Azzazinism you don’t live on this planet you can only live in one country at a time. Idk why people assume everyone can be helped all at once. There’s a saying that goes “the nicest man knows when to stop being nice” in other words if you stop to help every stranger living on the sidewalk you will end up living right there with them. Lebron speaks up for his own community but nah that’s not good enough the dude has to save the whole world it’s not like there are politicians or actual social leaders not a basketball player why does every issue have to fall on his shoilders
Weird that Lebron gets criticized for Nike when Jordan, Kobe, Kevin Durant and a lot of others are also with Nike. Not a word.
Because LeBron is the biggest face, and the loudest hypocrite
What I just don’t understand is why he’s coming for Bron when literally all his teammates and most basketball friends he has wears and supports Nike. Literally Jayson Tatum is one of the main faces of Nike and I don’t see Kanter coming for him when Tatum claims he was standing for social justice. I didn’t see him come for Jaylen Brown when he was being a big part of the protests last year while also being a big face for Nike. This is why I hate when people try and come for Bron and cal him a fraud when literally there are so many other players that claim to stand for human rights but then wear Nike. I guess it’s not as good of a headline when it’s not talking shit about Bron
The Boston team's situation right now must be kinda awkward 😂
Idk what’s so hard for you to understand. Lebron is literally the ONLY player with a LIFETIME shoe deal with Nike. Lebron has waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy more pull than any of these other players who wouldn’t be able to do much besides spread awareness like Kanter is doing but they’d be risking facing repercussions that Kanter has faced for speaking his mind and a lot of young stars don’t want all that extra stuff in their lives they want to focus on basketball. Most players just wear Nike and don’t even have their own shoe deal let alone a lifetime deal which will continue after LeFrauds playing career is over. You really can’t compare the power Lebron currently has in the sneaker industry to anyone else besides Michael Jordan.
That's not true Kevin Durant has a lifetime shoe deal he just doesn't like lebron they've had beef in the past
Exactly 💯 wanna act like lebron didn't help build schools , donate back to the hood poverty stricken areas of USA
It's because LeBron spoke out in support for Hong Kong and then China said they were going to ban the NBA viewing in China so LeBron recanted his statement and apologized
That's why Kanter is going after him because he's not really for the people just plays the part
Lebron has done more for other people than Kanter could hope to do in a lifetime. His charities have really helped the people of Ohio. Especially poor black communities. At the end of the day, Lebron's actions mean infinitely more than Kanters words.
bronsexual.
He didn't attack any Asian athlete, any Italian athlete, any other European athlete or Nike directly... he attacked Lebron directly... and his fellow same shade brethren, said and did nothing... let that sink in...
Literally the entire comment section is white Americans siding with a Turkish Expatriate over a Black American Athlete protesting against police brutality.....
He singled out LeBron because LeBron gets $30 million in endorsement money from Nike annually.
The Nike workers in China earn about $500-600/month on average, working long hours in near slave type conditions.
LeBron needs to be called out. It's only about the money to him.
