    I was more meaning the 4 Bel Air mansions he recently sold. ;) And his 2.5 million dollar car collection.

    1. Not a republican.
    2. He is on the wrong side of the China issue. Period. End of story.

    This isnt a guy who needs this coin to feed his family. He is compounding multigenerational wealth from a country oppressing/killing citizens who speak against it.

    No one is saying to be an activist. But how about at least not enabling the evil?

    I mean you guys can keep lumping me with some LBJ haters at your own peril. I am not one.

    He is dead wrong on this issue as much as he has been right about other things.

    You would really think now that an innocent WNBA star is held captive by an oppressive government, more NBA guys would stop being in bed with one.

    No one said that. That isnt accurate. I said they have a "lot in common" responding specifically to the highlighted china portion of your post. I never said they are "just like" each other. I was very specific about the Daryl Morey issue.

    Nowhere did I say they were "just like" each other.

    The dude has every right to focus his time and resources on solving issues facing Black Americans. It's not his duty to speak out against injustices in China.

    I guess I misunderstood what you meant when you mentioned his mansions that he recently sold off.

    I was comparing that to his new home. He was known to be sorta showy. Go watch his CNN piece years back when he bought the worlds fastest car
