This is way better spin than the NBA could muster. I guess that’s the different between a Trillion dollar company and a double-digit Billions dollar company

Pretty sure this memo went out to the entire Disney corporation umbrella. I haven’t seen outspoken actors or directors make any direct comments in support of Hong Kong. If any part of Disney’s business is locked out of China they would lose billions. Disney Shanghai, Marvel movies, Star Wars movies...

More people in China watch NBA content than the entire population of the US. More people in China currently living know the name Yao Ming than the number of humans that have ever existed in North America since the dawn of time.

Taiwanese by name only. If you google ‘Joe Tsai billionaire’ the first thing that pops is Alibaba. His money comes directly from the central government.

NBA is now the jilted ex. Just because you go crawling on your hands and knees doesn’t mean they’ll take you back. Spoilers: they won’t. 

Going to be weird not seeing WanDa and Li-Ning ads around Toyota Center. All that groundwork done by Yao Ming over 20 years undone in a few characters. At the end of the day the optics don’t really matter, China can do whatever they want. Expect Balmer to jump at this chance to line his Inglewood arena with those same …

I agree with public health intervention and prevention. The dissemination of knowledge and education on a global scale is one of the most cost effective preventative medicines. Places where preventable diseases still exist are usually places with the lowest levels of education. The Plague was contained because people…

The Fortnite world cup champion made $3 mil as a solo 16 year old and the entire USWNT made 3 mil for winning the FIFA women’s world cup. Prize pools were also equal. $30 mil for each. Fortnite came out in 2017.

gotta sub for that Mickey and the Roadster Racers. my kid’s favorite Mickey Mouse series with only limited episodes available on the youtube.

marijuana and homeless people taking dumps in the street still perfectly fine

These players busted their asses their entire lives to play on the world’s biggest stage, some for the first time. They can get theirs. If you think they shouldn’t then next time you are offered a promotion or a raise for working hard at your job then just decline it because you make enough money already and shouldn’t…

We should definitely follow the example of Japanese tourists abroad. When my grandfather and I visited Israel with a mainland Chinese tour group, we were stopped at a tourist trap spot for lunch and a Japanese tour group happened to be there at the same time. While the Chinese left a mess everywhere the Japanese not…

Rise of the Planet of the Apes was prophetic.

I’ve gone through many cheap hose nozzles from walmart/lowes/home depot and none of them lasted longer than one season until I bought this. My wife swears by it for all her gardening needs. It is easy to handle and the wand is not excessively long and very sturdy, it can stand up to some abuse. It waters hanging…

I also like the surface pro 6 and use one at work, but one of the benefits of having family in China is getting all the same tech builds ripped off from US companies at a much lower pricepoint. I purchased a Lenovo Miix 720 from China for under $900 with all the specs of a higher end Surface Pro 6, and it came with a…

Did you try Dean Blandino?

I’m a Rangers homer and even I would agree with the clean slide call. That play was entirely on profar to get off the line and his momentum was already slowed from tagging to where he easily could have gotten out of the way. He chose to make contact with the slide in order to possible get a call. That’s on him and his…

clearly its Michael C. Hall in character as Dexter.

I really hope this is what his parents named him after. This streamer wishes he had the video game skills of D.A.R.Y.L. and I hope one day he finds love in his robot heart just like D.A.R.Y.L.

what happened to Wednesday?
