Former NBA player and Hall of Famer Yao Ming, president of the Chinese Basketball Association, and Joseph Tsai, the new owner of the Brooklyn Nets, denounced Morey’s tweet, which has since been deleted. Several Chinese companies, including the sneaker manufacturer Anta, have either divested from the NBA or threatened to, while a Chinese television network decided not to broadcast the Nets-Lakers games. It was a difficult week for Silver, who has the unenviable job of trying to appeal to a major NBA sponsor and cash cow and also defend his employees’ right to free speech. Meanwhile, many coaches have stayed clear of the issue, including the Celtics’ Brad Stevens, who offered full support of Silver but nothing else. Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich have expressed support for human rights but not spoken directly on the Chinese issue. There is a collective hush around the NBA. Silver, representing the NBA’s best interests, is hoping this situation blows over and … [Read more...] about NBA not looking so fearless in face of China controversy

Preseason numbers often mean almost nothing. Rotations are unusual, starters rarely play much, and few if any teams are putting a premium on winning games. As such, it’s tough to glean much from exhibition stats. But what the Boston Celtics and New Orleans rookie Zion Williamson — the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft — have been doing so far in the preseason certainly stands out. The Celtics are 3-0 after beating Cleveland on Sunday — and have put together a huge run in all three of those games. The latest was a 50-17 spurt against the Cavaliers, a game that was close for most of the first quarter before Boston built what eventually became a 54-point lead. Boston’s other big runs of note in this preseason were a 41-17 stretch last Sunday against Charlotte, and opening the game with a 29-4 burst at Orlando on Friday. On top of the 50-17 run against the Cavs, they added a 26-8 run in the fourth quarter as well. No matter who the Celtics have on the … [Read more...] about Celtics, Zion Williamson remain sizzling to start preseason

Mason Rudolph splattered his name all over the Oklahoma State record book by cocking his right arm back and seeing just how far he could let it fly. It led to lots of wins and lots of yards and, somehow, a fair amount of complaints.Yes, really.“I mean, I love throwing the ball deep,” the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback said Thursday. “I was criticized often for doing that too much in college.”Two weeks into his career as an NFL starter, Rudolph appears to have the opposite problem. The player given carte blanche to sling it where he wanted whenever he wanted for Oklahoma State is trying to take a more disciplined approach as a pro. He completed 24 of 28 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns while picking up his first win as a starter against Cincinnati on Monday, the majority of his connections coming on check-downs to running backs Jaylen Samuels and James Conner.It was efficient. It was effective. And well, it was kind of boring. It’s an issue Rudolph … [Read more...] about Short and sweet; Steelers’ Rudolph focusing on efficiency
