BY CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

ATHENS — D’Andre Swift is still looking for No. 10 Georgia’s offense to play its fi rst complete game. He suggests some changes may be necessary to make that hap- pen. Swift, the leader of the Bulldogs’ running attack, would like to see the offense be less predictable in Saturday night’s game against Kentucky. He didn’t mince words when asked if he’d like to see more creative play-calling as a way to help the Bulldogs’ running backs create big plays. “Most defi nitely,” Swift said Monday. “I think we need to do a better job of getting the ball to the playmakers in space and getting the ball outside a little more.” Georgia still leads the Southeastern Conference in rushing after being held about 80 yards below its average in last week’s 20-17 double-overtime loss to South Carolina. There were many runs at the heart of the Gamecocks’ defense. Too many for Swift’s liking. Swift ran for 113 yards but his longest run was only 14 yards. Coach Kirby Smart says he’d like to see more explosive plays, in- cluding from the running game. Georgia has excellent big-play potential at running back with Swift, Zamir White, James Cook and Brian Herrien, who missed the Kentucky game with back spasms. Swift said the best way to take advantage of all that speed in the backfi eld is to mix in more “outside zone, screens, stuff like that.” The Bulldogs were held to a season-low 4.0 yards per carry in the loss.

BY TIM REYNOLDS AND GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writers

LeBron James has stepped into the spotlight of the now-strained re- lationship between the NBA and China with his comments about the league executive who started the ongoing fallout with what James de- rided as a “misinformed” tweet. Politicians, human rights groups and ordinary fans on social media have criticized the outspoken superstar, questioning the motivation of James’ comments. James spoke out Monday, his seven-minute session with reporters putting him squarely in the center of the ongoing international schism. Houston general manager Daryl Morey was “not really educated on the situation,” James asserted, when he sent out that since-deleted Oct. 4 tweet showing support for Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protests. On Tuesday, James acknowledged the criticism — and said he expect- ed that it would be coming. “Obviously, it’s a tough situation that we’re all in right now, ... I think Serving Bartow County when an issue comes up, if you feel passionate about it or you feel like it’s something you want to talk about, then so be it,” James said. “I also don’t think that every issue should be everybody’s problem as well.” Monday’s comments unleashed an immediate backlash against James, who has often spoken out on social and political matters, with and Surrounding Areas some expressing dismay that this time he seemed to be more concerned about protecting his own brand and fi nancial interests in China, where he enjoys enormous popularity. “I’ve always been welcomed with open arms,” James said. “I’ve been to China probably 15 to 20 times ... to have this beautiful game that we Licensed and Insured all love to be able to bring people together in the most positive way.” That is not the case right now. James was in China for the two games last week between his Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets that were played under most unusual circumstances — with no pregame or All Work postgame media sessions, fi rst by decree of the Chinese and then from Plumbing Repairs, the NBA, and with several major league Chinese partners pulling their Backed By support of the exhibitions. With the Lakers and Nets now home, the rift and debate about what Exclusive the league should have done continues, reinvigorated by James speaking Water Heaters out. Warranty. “The situation ... has fl ared up again,” said Matt Powell, a sports busi- See invoice ness analyst at research fi rm The NPD Group. “LeBron is getting a lot for detail. of criticism on social media.” and Fixture Plumbing It wasn’t limited to the Twitter world, either. Protesters in Hong Kong on Tuesday trampled on James’ jerseys, burning one, and threw basketballs at a photo of the four-time NBA MVP — a global sports icon whose image has taken a clear hit. Among James’ comments Monday night, his fi rst publicly shared thoughts on the matter: “So many people could have been harmed, not only fi nancially but emotionally, physically and spiritually” by Morey’s WE LOVE MOMS tweet. That fanned the fallout fi re, including from U.S. lawmakers who said they believed the NBA’s primary goal had been to protect the league’s massive fi nancial interest when it comes to its relationship with China instead of more vigorously defending Morey’s right to free speech. $ Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, a frequent critic of James, tweeted both FREE Monday night and again Tuesday morning about the NBA star’s com- ments, accusing him of “kowtowing to Communist China.” The offi ce 35 OFF of Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska also tweeted at James, saying “you’re Service Call parroting communist propaganda.” Morey has not apologized, and has not said anything publicly since two tweets on Oct. 6 attempting to clarify his thinking.

Expires 10-31-19. Rockets center Tyson Chandler, who was James’ teammate on the Lakers last season, also passed on expressing an opinion. “I think again everybody’s thoughts are their own,” Chandler told re- porters. “I think LeBron’s (are) his, Daryl’s (are) his and I like to stay out Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for of people’s thoughts.” Teammate forward Thabo Sefolosha, who was born in Switzerland The Lord rather than for people. (Colossians 3:23 NLT) and is in his fi rst year with the Rockets, did touch briefl y on the free- speech issue. “Everybody is entitled to their opinion, entitled to what they want to say. That’s the beauty about this country.” China is considered the fastest-growing market for Nike, with whom James has a lifetime endorsement deal. In the most recent fi scal year, its revenue from China jumped 21% from the previous year, while overall, sales in China made up 16% of Nike’s total revenue. Financing Available James has often spoken out on issues he feels passionate about. When he played in Miami, he and other Heat players wore hoodies in reac- tion to the death of Trayvon Martin — an unarmed black teen who was wearing a hoodie when he was shot dead by a neighborhood watch vol- unteer in Florida in 2012. He also has supported Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco Call Us Today! 49ers quarterback who began kneeling during the national anthem in an effort to raise awareness of racial oppression and police brutality. He’s a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, campaigned for 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and most recently sat with California Gov. Gavin Newsom as the Democrat signed into law a bill that will allow college athletes in that state to hire agents and make money from endorsement deals. Newsom signed that bill while appearing on a special episode of HBO’s “The Shop: Uninterrupted” — part of James’ off-court business empire. James is also the founder of a school for inner-city kids in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.
