EXCERPT:
BARKLEY: “And like I said, because of Yao Ming, the Rockets are by far and away the most popular team in China. You can’t come to my country and make money and then insult me. We don’t get to impress our values on other countries. That's my first thing. Secondly, listen, I thought what happened to LeBron was unfair. Daryl Morey had the right to say it, but he didn’t look at the big picture. But I thought what happened to LeBron was unfair. Because LeBron was caught in the middle for three reasons. Number one, LeBron makes a billion dollars a year from Nike. Nike makes $6 billion a year in China. The NBA makes billions of dollars a year in China. All these other American companies make money in China. Why is it up to the NBA Adam Silver, LeBron James, to ruin their financial situation when all these other companies are allowed to make money in China?"
