That’s so perfect. And even better is the dragging PeKing James is getting from conservatives over this old interview where he said he use his platform to speak out:

LeBron is all for speaking out until it impacts his bottom line.

LeBron welcomes you to be brave as long as it conforms to the approval of the Chinese government. https://t.co/lO3Frljw9W

"When you see something that's unjust or you see something that's wrong… I feel like my voice can be heard and speak volumes, especially coming from a point of sports…"

… unless it comes at a cost, right @kingjames?

Bravery requires risk. Stand up to Communists. https://t.co/6sFD2WKGVW
