But we will trade LeBron James for a Pu Pu Platter.
NBA = CYA
Damage control?
“We said there’s no chance that’s happening,” Silver said. “There’s no chance we’ll even discipline him.”
But, we will ask our most popular superstar to make a public statement on your behalf. Hopefully, that will humiliate Morey sufficiently.
Will the laborers in the Nike factory be able to see it?
When you do business in China, literally everything is political. You will be the Chinese Communist Party’s prison byatch. There’s no way around it
I don’t buy it for a second.
Wouldn’t it just be a hoot if China came out with a statement denying this.
If China had made tht request, the NBA would have done it.
Oh wow.... the NBA is so brave. They are real heroes and really care about people and human rights. Real paragons of virtue. They deserve a medal. Silver is a real stud. A man’s man. Oozes masculinity. A mensch. People love and respect his tireless bravery and impeccable virtue. The man is beyond reproach. A real American.
I don't follow pro basket ball.
Or any basketball, for that matter.
Utterly boring game.
Having said that, I am aware of the on-going controversy and judging from all I've heard, it is my personal opinion that Mr. Silver is full of crap.
I have no doubt that he is speaking out of both sides of his ignorant mouth.
Revenge will be extracted for the Chicoms by this guy...we just won't know it or hear of it.
And I still won't be impressed by Lebrown Jemes, or Nike, or any of the crap associated with pro basket ball, to include the outrageous prices charged for the slave labor-made shoes they use and sell to a gullible, stupid, primarily black thug audience.
That's my say...and I don't care if anyone likes it.
The NBA despises Donald J. Trump, but cowtows to a a genocidal regime that has murdered 65 million of its own citizens, still enslaves people in sweatshops, and executes workers who don’tmake their quota of Nike shoes.
He forgot to add “but we will make sure that no one associated with the nba will ever utter a negative word about our chinese overlords”.
Maybe there is some “brass” in that Silver. Hope so. Otherwise, the NBA will go the way of the fascist-led (Goodell) NFL, aided and abetted by Comrade Marxist Crapperhead and his red toadies in Kerr, Bennett and Curry.
Let Lebron go and hold General Tso’s Chicken.
If I were Morey...I would tweet again...even more support for the democracy advocate/protesters in Hong Kong. Just double down as it were. And then tell Adam Silver...LBJ and anyone else to kiss my ass.
Their Chinese masters will not like that.
Wasn’t he already disciplined? Was he pressured to delete his tweet and apologize? Didn’t Tillman Fertita jump down his throat?
James as the NBA version of the Kneeler-except he’s kowtowing.
They had slain the Earl of Morey
And laid him on the green...
