Second time in a row you avoid backing your trash assertion that [Nas in Belly voice]“they got NBA Africa” as a valid alternative to China.

flesh it out. You cant. Your dumb ass just posted NBA Africa for no valid reason so your fall back is to attack me.

try too hard ass niqqa

Third post where you are unable to flesh out why NBA Africa is a viable option away from China.

I'm wondering how this Morey situation is going to play out long term. On NBA Sirius XM yesterday they said this situation with China might cause each franchise to lose somewhere between $200-400 million dollars in value. Might be the most expensive tweet ever


Knowing Silver and the League we won't hear a peep from a GM outside of talking basketball from here on out. Kerr & Pop won't even touch this one

Bro where did I say Africa and India will REPLACE China? You cats really not reading I see..

You brought up NBA Africa as a counterpoint to me talking about the NBA needing the Chinese market.

our comprehension is just fine. Your backpedaling is Deion level

Bro where did I say Africa and India will REPLACE China? You cats really not reading I see..

then what does this mean?

"Bro The NBA is already developing NBA Africa and the commissioner already looking in the the India market.. again China ain’t the end all be all for the NBA.."

because in 2019 or 2020 those aren't viable options in a discussion about the financial ramifications today. those are long term plays that may not pay off until we're dead.

China needs the nba more than the nba need China let’s keep it 300.

Chinese fans will find other ways to get NBA games through VPN’s and streaming..

if that is the case, why is the Commisioner of the NBA flying over there personally himself to meet Chinese officials? He’s not even getting a meeting with the people who are making these decisions; he’s getting the people who are figureheads for the decision (Yao Ming)

The Chinese government allows VPN? They barely got Google and Facebook over there

We need Dennis Rodman to resolve this situation

Better the NBA find out what kind of megalomaniacs they were in bed with early

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

y'all are tripping if you think the nba will walk away from china or don't need them. china brings in way too much money. i read some stat that ~800 million people watch the nba over there. the US population is 300 million so they have double the ppl tuned into games than there are ppl living in america

the nba should spend the year resolving the issue behind closed doors and let things cool down. i don't think china wants to abandon the nba so they'll eventually reach an agreement.

 

[Cynic]

What do you mean "they don't care"? They don't care about a disgruntled population and potential revolution? That's almost certainly their #1 concern. There are only two reasons they've let the NBA have such a big presence in China at all - to fill their pockets and to pacify the population. And that second reason might actually be bigger than the first.

Kicking a sports league out of the country doesn't make China look strong. It makes them look petty. And you're right, they're frightened to back down but they're also frightened that the NBA will leave. Both options are L's for them. From the beginning they really thought the NBA would back down and punish/condemn Morey, and it came damn close to happening, but once Silver grew a spine the Chinese were shook.

I think some of y'all overestimate how much power China has. Countries who are gripping really, really tightly to control their entire population tend to do so because they're terrified that if they let up they'll lose everything. China's greatest fear is a disgruntled population loses faith in the government to maintain their standard of living and fuels separatist movements that buzz around almost every border province in the country. Take away the NBA and you're one step closer to disgruntled. shyt like this has happened in history with governments even more brutal than the Chinese.

The problem with this is it shows a lack of understanding when it comes to Chinese culture in general.
Their society is based on collectivist and confucian values. In most cases the government is seen as
a custodian for the entire country not an entity to be protested against.

The only thing this does is further antagonize relations and shore up nationalist sentiment within
China. Chinese aren't going to critique their own government or be disgruntled because amero-cacs
are supporting HK .

Do you hear yourself ?
You think Chinese love NBA more than their own country ?
