    Probably so, but he jumped the gun. After all the China blowback he received, you would think he would be extra careful doing anything that appears to be disrespecting the country since he will be under the microscope.

    This is interesting.

    The Chinese state media decided to run an op-ed in honor of their biggest spokesman...LeBron James...by arguing that anyone who criticizes him must be a racist.

    What an odd tactic being used by China here. Weaponizing unfounded claims of racism is something I've never seen before.

    Actually, this is quite common practice in China whenever they´re displeased with some foreign country or organization. If your foreign minister happens to mention something about Tibet or persecution of minorities for example, you can be sure there´s gonna be a smear campaign towards your country for a while. It´s happened here in Sweden on many occassions actually...

    Think he was being sarcastic about the racism claims being floated at the drop of a hat over here.

    Here's a followup of the costly tweet. According to league sources, a single, seemingly innocuous tweet by an NBA general manager cost the league as much as $200 million.

    Not to mention the cost of all the knee pads Adam Silver went through fellating Xi Ping.
