Lared took to the Lakers’ Reddit page to announce his plan to make the shirts and hand them out for free during the game on October 22.

To fund the venture, Lared launched a Gofundme with a goal of $20,000; the project raised nearly $43k before donations were disabled.

“China is trying to censor the Houston Rockets (update: and now the entire NBA) because of Hong Kong,” the Gofundme page says.

“Wouldn’t it be hilarious if on opening night in Staples Center the NBA fanbase made a collective demonstration against censorship by wearing “STAND WITH Hong Kong” T-Shirts?”.

This led to many Hong Kong protesters to retaliate by gathering on courts to trample on LeBron jerseys and even burn one.

Getting ready to hand these out at NBA opener in LA Oct 22!
