Kanter Freedom has previously criticized James for his political views.<\/p>\n<p>James scored 38 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. His career total now stands at 38,390.

Stand with Hong Kong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chinese Central Television (CCTV) suspended NBA broadcasts for over two years.<\/p>\n<p>James <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/27847951\/daryl-morey-was-misinformed-sending-tweet-china-hong-kong\">chimed in<\/a> after Morey\u2019s actions, \u201cYes, we do have freedom of speech. But at times, there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you\u2019re not thinking about others, when you only think about yourself. I don\u2019t want to get into a word or sentence feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn\u2019t educated on the situation at hand, and he spoke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many people could have been harmed, not only financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually,\u201d James continued. \u201cSo just be careful what we tweet and what we say and what we do, even though yes, we do have freedom of speech\u00a0 but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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\u2019 s 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 sometimes social media is not always the proper way to go about things as well, but that\u2019s just my belief,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Freedom targeted James in October 2021 over his ties to China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNike likes to say \u2018Just Do It.\u2019 Well, what are you doing about the slave labor that makes your shoes? That slave labor that makes you rich,\u201d Kanter said in a video. \u201cTo the owner of Nike \u2014 Phil Knight \u2014 I have a message for you. How about I book plane tickets for us, let\u2019s fly to China together. We can try to visit these slave labor camps and you can see with your own eyes. LeBron James and Michael Jordan, you guys are welcome to come too. Nike must be a participant in this. Stop the hypocrisy. Stop the modern-day slavery now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In November 2021, Kanter Freedom slammed James, tweeting, \u201cMoney over Morals for the \u2018King\u2019 Crown. Sad &#038; disgusting how these athletes pretend they care about social justice. They really do \u2018shut up &#038; dribble\u2019 when Big Boss Flag of [China] says so.
