NBA Geekly - Ep. 11: Un-Beal-ievable Extension

1.) LeBron on China / Morey:- "I think when we talk about the political side, it was a very delicate situation, a very sensitive situation, and for me personally, you guys know that when I speak about something, I speak about something I&#39;m very knowledgeable about, something I&#39;m very passionate about. I feel like with this particular situation, it was something not only I was not informed enough about ... I just felt like it was something that not only myself or my teammates or my organization had enough information to even talk about it at that point in time, and we still feel the same way."- "I believe he wasn&#39;t educated on the situation at hand, and he spoke and so many people could have been harmed, not only financially, but physically, emotionally, spiritually. So just be careful what we tweet and say and we do, even though, yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that, too."- "I believe he was either misinformed or not really educated on the situation, and if he was, then so be it. I have no idea, but that is just my belief. Because when you say things or do things, if you are doing it and you know the people that can be affected by it and the families and individuals and everyone that can be affected by it, sometimes things can be changed as well. And also social media is not always the proper way to go about things as well, but that&#39;s just my belief."- "I do not believe there was any consideration for the consequences and ramifications of the tweet. I&#39;m not discussing the substance. Others can talk about that. My team and this league just went through a difficult week. I think people need to understand what a tweet or statement can do to others. And I believe nobody stopped and considered what would happen. Could have waited a week to send it."2.)
