NBA China Hypocrisy: Free Tibet Shoes and a Threatened Ban

People think what I'm

doing with WNBA is a lot.

Wait till what I'm going to do with NBA.

What are you gonna do with the NBA-

Um, I-

With Adam Silver?

I'm, I'm just gonna expose their hypocrisy.

What hypocrisy?

I wore Free Tibet shoes. Two minutes before the game,

two gentlemen from the NBA

came to me and said, "Take your shoes off." I turned, I'm like,

"I'm not gonna take

them off. Even if I get fined, I'm not gonna do

it." They said, "Buddy,

we're not

talking about getting fined,

we're talking about getting banned." I

called Adam

Silver. I have all the recordings.

"You cannot talk about China

or blah, blah," right?

He even admitted and said, "Listen, it's a different system over there.

At the end, we are a business." I had this one

conversation with an owner, and he

said, "If you say a word about China, you will

be cut from the league and you're

not gonna be able to play basketball." If they criticize America,

if you talk about

the things that are happening in this

country, they're okay with it.

They're for it. But

when it comes to China, they're like, "No,

no, no, no, no."

Yeah.

"You can't say a word."

That's the hypocrisy.
