If you wonder why critics of so-called “social justice” often focus their ire on LeBron James, you need look no further than how ESPN’s NBA crew covered the feud between him and Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter.

Kanter, who previously risked his life and freedom to condemn Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan, decided to risk the remainder of his NBA career by condemning the Chinese Communist Party. That included mocking James, who presents himself as an athlete who will speak out against any injustice he sees — unless it affects his merchandise sales in China.
