Brown and the Rockets made the sightseeing stop during a trip to China with the New Orleans Pelicans for the NBA’s Global Game China and he couldn’t resist the urge to leave a little graffiti behind on the 2,221-year-old wall. His work came to light when he posted images on his Weibo microblog (kind of like China’s Twitter), writing, “Had a blast at the Great Wall of China today.”

Chinese netizens became furious. “Are you proud of your carving? This is a part of world heritage, not the toilet of your home,” one Weibo user commented before Brown’s post was deleted, according to sina.com and SCMP.com. WHAT A SHAME, Ryan Lochte and now him!
