Basketball Diplomacy's Ability to Frustrate US's New Cold War on China

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Nate Wallace, co-host of Red Spin Sports podcast, for another edition of our new weekly segment “The Red Spin Report." They discuss the implications of the University of New Mexico having relocated its entire NCAA football team to Las Vegas to circumvent New Mexico COVID-19 restrictions, the lasting consequences of NBA GM Daryl Morey's incendiary comments about Hong Kong, and how the NBA is working to repair its frayed ties with Chinese fans following the incident last year.The role of grassroots basketball diplomacy taking place between players from the U.S. and China is explored, and its potential to foster solidarity in the face of the usual suspects of DC think-tankers ramping up their warmongering rhetoric as a hail mary to try and stop the immoveable force that is China's rise as a rival superpower to the U.S. on the global stage. The Beijing museum dedicated to Brooklyn, NY hoops legend Stephon Marbury is discussed in this context, along with comments by Allen Iverson (AI aka The Answer), and finally the utter buffoonery of Jason Whitlock's ridiculous commentary on Black Lives Matter, "anti-Americanism," and red meat doses of China-bashing.
