NBA Commissioner Adam Silver should fear “retribution” for allegedly lying when he said Chinese officials asked him to fire a Houston Rockets executive over a pro-Hong Kong tweet, state media in China warned Saturday.
The state-run China Central Television broadcast the threat, saying “it is ugly for the president of an internationally influential sports league to openly make up a lie to discredit China,” according to The New York Times. The broadcast added Silver’s alleged lie showed he had character issues.
CCTV’s broadcast also blasted Silver's moral compass, saying “once someone’s morality goes wrong, he will receive retribution sooner or later” and that “freedom of speech does not mean that it can be arbitrary nonsense.”
CCTV’s response came days after Silver said at a Time Magazine event that the Chinese government urged him to fire Daryl Morey for his tweet supporting pro-democracy Hong Kong demonstrators. Silver said he refused the request. -
I have no doubt the Chinese government made that request, and I'm not surprised one bit that they're are denying it, now that it is public. If Adam Silver had just kept his mouth shut, The league would have a taken a short term hit, while the Rockets would have taken the blunt of the plunger. Now, relations with China and the NBA in general are ruined long term.RaceBannon said:NBA Commissioner Adam Silver should fear “retribution” for allegedly lying when he said Chinese officials asked him to fire a Houston Rockets executive over a pro-Hong Kong tweet, state media in China warned Saturday.

How hard is it to just say, "The NBA stands behind our players' and management's rights to self political expression". Then just leave it at that. -
This was all part of Larry Scott’s master plan to have the Pac12 Network reign supreme in China
