    Also the same league that pulled its all-star game out of Charlotte over the bathroom bill thing. Maybe if they'd shot the transgender dissidents in North Carolina they'd have been able to keep it.

    The NBA and Donald Trump share the same opinion, money talks. Everything else is bullshit.

    If Yao Ming were to come to the U.S. today to play in the NBA, he would only be 5’10” due to the tariffs.

    Pretty sure the players and union know their money is chinese too. What China is doing to Hong Kong is worse than anything Donald Sterling did. But criticizing Sterling didn’t cost them a dime.

    ESPN has an armada of NBA-wide reporters, and I doubt you'll see any of them touch it. Kind of like they've basically ignored the federal sting operation on college hoops, which, for all of its twisted legal logic, is still a story that exposes name-brand programs. They abdicated to Yahoo, which is free from corporatist ties and has run with the story quite well.
