    “LeBron James is the servant of Nike and he is the servant of China. He is doing the bidding of a large multinational company and of a communist dictatorship and, in the process, he is selling out America. This is completely and totally shameful.”— Clay Travis

    He ought to get fired anyway. He's an idiot. He had L.Williams/ P.Beverley/ M.Harrell and he traded all that for an ageing pg.

    “It’s interesting in this situation with China, they’re shoving a camera in our face and be like, ‘No you can’t say no comment we need you to speak on this,'” Iguodala continued, highlighting what he believes is a double standard. “They ready to attack LeBron for making a statement because they don’t like his statement, they feel like he should have took another stance. But when he’s home and he makes a stance about… and it’s like, ‘No this is not your place to make that statement.’ That was just mindblowing. That’s what bothered me the most.”


    What's wrong with these guys, always attacking the media? Don't they realise they wouldn't be millionaires without them? James & Harden didn't merely not speak on it, they directly attacked Morey for his free speech!

    It would be great if the media (TV, papers) unilaterally ceased covering the NBA, just to see these idiots come grovelling back

    NBA commissioner Adam Silver estimated that the longterm financial hit from the damaged relationship with China due to the Hong Kong controversy could reach $400 million.
