The NBA has come under fire the past few years for being in bed with China, but perhaps the league and the communist nation aren’t quite as cozy as you think.<\/p>\n
After all, according to commissioner Adam Silver, the NBA has lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to what he described as a strained relationship with China.<\/p>\n
Silver added that accepts the losses as the price of free speech. Namely, from NBA players such as Enes Freedom and former Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, now of the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n
When Morey supported Hong Kong’s fight for freedom in a tweet several years back, the Chinese government refused to broadcast NBA games on the state-run network.<\/p>\n
This past season, all games involving the Celtics were canceled after Freedom railed against the NBA’s relationship with China, citing China’s widespread human rights injustices.<\/p>\n
