This is going to get worse before it gets better. Hopefully we have some influential people stand up for things of value to them other than their pocketbook.
Is the NBA not allowing players/coaches to voice their opinions on China? The NBA has already come out and said the Rockets’ media relations person should not have shut down the question to Harden and Westbrook this morning.
Are you naive? That statement by the NBA was a cover your ass after the fact.
I think they should have definitely left out the regrettable part. Also, that first statement just got butchered in translation which made things quite a bit worse. The first statement was not good, and maybe it is the best representation of their true thoughts on the matter.
I guess they haven't publicly stated they are not allowing them to voice their opinions, but it sure seems that way.Is the NBA not allowing players/coaches to voice their opinions on China?

How's that working out for you?I am disappointed in Kerr and Pop being silent. They are 2 guys who have always spoken their stance and they are big enough names that the NBA isn't going to mess with them.
Well, Kerr hasn't exactly been silent. Although he has shown pretty clearly his convictions go no deeper than his pocketbookhuh?
Kerr gave an angry rant in an interview suggesting that we are in no place to judge China because there are mass shootings here, and people have rights like the right to bear arms, and occasionally do bad things. It was a cringey strawman of a response that is getting blasted all over Twitter today.huh?

I am not going to bag too much on Kerr. It just makes previous comments throwaways to me. Its really hard to cause yourself financial ruin based on personal ethics. People do it, but they are great stories because its so rare.Sorry I missed that been busy getting ready for upcoming races.
If that's the case he's discrediting himself and proving he's a sellout.
I don't think it was Morey that wasn't educated.
Kinda gives King James a new spin.
