The league will still happily weigh in on GOP politicians, random police officers, and allegations of racism, writes zacharyfaria. 'Anything is on the table until China tells players, coaches, and league officials to shut up and dribble.'
Chinese state media reports that China Central Television has begun broadcasting NBA games once again, which was confirmed by a spokesman for the league. Only one NBA game had been broadcast on the state-run TV network since 2019. Now, the league is making a “full return” to China’s airwaves.
NBA games had previously returned to China’s streaming service, Tencent. Even then, Houston Rockets games only returned in January 2021. Philadelphia 76ers games were still left off the platform, as former Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, who had supported the Hong Kong protests against the Chinese government, had taken the same position with Philadelphia.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver, whose league was running basketball camps in China where Chinese coaches were abusing players, thinks the league is being unfairly singled out by critics. Spokesman Mike Bass touted that the league has been aired in China for 35 years and that “we believe broadcasting games to our fans in China … is consistent with our mission to inspire and connect people everywhere through the game of basketball.
