RUSH EXCERPT:
COSTAS: “Well the NBA on NBC is from 1990 to the early 2000s. It was a different era. The NBA was always a progressive league in the best sense of that term. They were better about minority hirings both on the court in terms of coaches but in the league offices and front offices of teams so that was a great thing but outward political statements were not as prevalent as in past recent years. Right after the George Floyd incident and during coid the NBA was in a bubble in Florida that was a discret and specific set of circumstances.”
