Uh.... since when does the NBA use tires on the court?
End stage TDS isn't pretty, folks...
He is single-handedly burning down the NBA, and it's just desserts for a league that hired a weak commissioner so the REAL STARS could be political activists.... Adam Silver is the weakest pro sports commish, as evidenced by the fact nobody ever complains about him....(if at least one of the major groups don't like you (Players, fans, owners) you're not effective because you wont' put your foot down and say "no" ) He decided to let the inmates run the asylum under threat of being called a white supremacist, got bullied by social media and ESPN anchors into stripping the Clippers franchise from it's owner for nothing more than the owner being an unlikable old codger who wasn't progressive, then was pushed by those same folks to the sidelines of his own league and see what they got from that..... in-your-face hard-left racial politics that are taking a ruined season, and, unbelievably, ruining it further.
They called David Stern a slave driver because he "was tellin' black men what to do!" when he forced the players to stand for the anthem, not wear ridiculous bling jewelry on the court and not bring guns into the locker rooms, because he understood that the average NBA fan included a lot of white people. But as soon as he was gone, the league's players decided they were in charge now, and if they wanted to thug it up, they would, because the rules of "white" people (that they still made millions following) were oppressive and disrespectful. And the overgrown thugs turned it into the BLM league under the new management...
It's why they want China so bad, they've poisoned their stateside relationship with fans and are looking for greener pastures where the fans consoome without question and won't desert them if they smack talk Americans all day long... .
