A day after the Los Angeles Lakers star thrust himself into an NBA controversy of unprecedented international proportions, James became the subject of protests in Hong Kong. Scores of people gathered Tuesday at a basketball court to direct profanities at him, trample and burn his jersey and chant in support of Morey.

“James was trying to take a side, on the China side, which is, like, ridiculous,” Aaron Lee, a 36-year-old marketing director, said while attending the anti-James, pro-Morey demonstration (via the Associated Press). “He was being honest, financially. Simple as that. “LeBron James stands for money. Period.”

Of Morey’s tweet — which was posted Oct. 4 and quickly deleted, and which read, “Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong.” — James said to reporters Monday that “so many people could have been harmed not only financially, but physically, emotionally, spiritually.”

Saying “we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that, too,” James added that Morey was “either misinformed or not really educated on the situation.”

In Hong Kong, a crowd alternated chants of “Thank you Morey” with “[expletive] off James.” A photo of James was affixed to a basketball hoop’s backboard, and people cheered as shot attempts bounced off it
