NBA megastar LeBron James cowered to the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Monday while talking to reporters about the backlash that Houston Rockets’ General Manager Daryl Morey received for advocating for Hong Kong’s freedom.

“We all talk about this freedom of speech, yes, we all do have freedom of speech but at times there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you’re not thinking about others and you’re only thinking about yourself,” James said. “I don’t want to get into a … feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn’t educated on the situation at hand and he spoke. So many people could have been harmed, not only financially, but physically, emotionally, and spiritually.”
