The NBA’s hypocrisy in promoting social justice causes while ignoring China’s human rights abuses for financial gain was on display during the chaotic 2019-20 season. NBA commissioner Adam Silver wants to make it clear: China’s human rights abuses are just fine in his book.

That’s what is conveyed in his interview with GQ released on Monday. The interview was conducted during the NBA Finals back in October. Silver responded to complaints about the NBA’s silence on China, saying, “But I guess that people could say, ‘Well, it’s inconsistent with our values.’ And I’d say, ‘Do you make decisions based on one issue?’”
