LeBron James has come under fire among Hong Kong protesters for quotes in which he appeared to side with China, rather than the anti-government supporters currently demonstrating in the country. Around 200 people gathered to chant obscenities about the LA Lakers star, set fire to replica jerseys and stick a picture of him to a backboard before shooting basketballs off it. They also sang support for Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, whose tweet supporting them led to James' comments.
