Some may call it cynical - but too often it's just been reality. Still, I think that NBA players have put their principles before pocket-books in certain situations - but this is a macro scale of that should business with China be alienated.

But as stated, the NBA is in a super privileged position because of its soaring success. There are other markets to engage with while still being absurdly profitable. At some point you have to ask yourself if it's worth the disposable profitability (that you likely won't even know is missing) to bend to a regime like China.
