They are slowly pivoting. Now they will slowly report more and more on these actions and goings on in China with little nuggets about how NBA officials were dismayed, NBA officials were shocked, NBA officials were targeted too. Nba officials were scared.

The fact is, they have done nothing but cover for China the entire time and what happened to Morey was shameful. They knew what they were dealing with. They chose the money over human rights. It is what it is. Dont fall for their new campaign to paint themselves victims too.

Guys there is gonna be a lot of shots at the nba In the next couple months. They are gonna pull off this restart so much better than other leagues it will cause a lot of jealousy and the haters will come out. I would say to just ignore it and focus on the hoop.

They've made themselves easy targets. Who knew that endorsing slave labor shoes would become the least of their problems?

NFL and mlb are both chomping at the bit to get in bed with China. Their product Just doesn’t have the demand there that nba does.

Has Lebron weighed in on this or is he trying to educate himself further on the issue before commenting?


He’s only an expert on all political matters of concerning the US, otherwise you can’t expect him to be educated enough to comment.

Just China doing China things. The pressure to succeed in that culture is crazy intense. They do all their athletes like this. It isn't really anything new.

Surprising ESPN would run with something like this about its business partner. I’m sure they passed it by the NBA at a minimum.


ESPN whispering to NBA:

How many products for sale in the US have at least 1 component or piece of material that was sourced in China? 98%?

Sure that’s rough, but LeBron has it so much worse, being a black man in America. At 14 he was barely appearing on the cover of national magazines. And the agents who paid for everything in his life sometimes only sprang for four star hoteks
