LeBron James said he believes Daryl Morey was "misinformed and not educated on the situation" when the Houston Rockets general manager tweeted in support of anti-government protesters in Hong Kong on Oct. 4.
르브론은 휴스턴의 단장 데릴 모리가 홍콩 사태와 관련해서 “잘 모르는 상태에서” 트윗을 했다고 생각한다고 밝혔다.
"I don't want to get into a ... feud with Daryl but I believe he wasn't educated about the situation at hand and he spoke," James said Monday, ahead of the Lakers preseason game against the Golden State Warriors. "So many people could ha ve been harmed, not only financially, but physically, emotionally, spiritually.
“나는 모리와 논쟁을 하고 싶지 않지만 그가 이번 홍콩사태를 잘 몰랐을 거라고 생각한다,” 며 레이커스의 골든스테이트 경기 전 인터뷰에서 말했다. “많은 사람들이 다칠 수 있습니다. 경제적으로, 육체적으로, 감정적으로 말이죠.”
"Just be careful what we tweet ... even though, yes, we do ha ve freedom of speech. But there can be a lot of negative that comes with that too."
“트윗하는거에 대해 조심해야 합니다. 물론 우리는 표현의 자유가 있지만, 그로 인해 따라오는 부정적인 면도 있습니다.”
The relationship between the NBA and China was disrupted after Morey's tweet, which has since been deleted. Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta denounced the tweet and said the Rockets were "not a political organization" and that Morey did not speak for the team.
Hong Kong has seen months of protests and increasing violence between demonstrators and police, originally sparked by a proposal that would ha ve allowed extradition from the semi-autonomous territory to mainland China.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver held a tense meeting with player from the Brooklyn Nets and Lakers last week when he arrived in Shanghai to address the situation, sources told ESPN's Rachel Nichols.
During the meeting, sources said, several prominent players voiced frustration about their perception that they were being put in the middle of the dispute between the NBA and China, and they said they were unhappy about being asked to address the situation by local Chinese reporters before Silver himself was scheduled to do so.

"I think when we talk about the political side, I think it's a very delicate situation," James said Monday. "Very sensitive situation. For me personally, if any of you guys know me or always cover me, you guys know when I speak about something, I speak about something I'm very knowledgeable about. Something that hits home for me. Something I'm very passionate about. I feel like with this particular situation, not only was I not informed enough about-- I just felt like it was something not only myself or my teammates or our organization had enough information to even talk about it at that point in time. And we still feel the same way."
“정치얘기는 항상 조심해야 합니다. 저를 아는 사람이라면 저는 제가 knowledgeable 한 이슈들에 대해서만 코멘트 합니다. 제가 열정을 느끼는 것만요. 제가 강하게 느끼는 것만요. ... 이번 사태는 저나 제 팀메이트나
