AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

And the actual game wasn´t even the worst part of the weekend. Is Silver suffering from amnesia or have they finally given up on virtue signalling?

I don't think they've given up on their conquest to virtue signal, but Bomani makes a great point. If Malone wasn't there, it'd draw WAY more attention as to why he wouldn't be there. And it'd drum up the controversy the NBA is actively trying to sweep under the rug. 

As opposed to just inviting him and having him avoid as many mics as possible and then let him quietly go away. 

If they actually had values they'd have not invited him, but virtue signaling is a way to make money for the NBA, not a moral compass. 

I mean did you also see that commercialistic ASG MVP moment where Silver stumbled over his words making sure the sponsor was happy KIA was mentioned for the millionth time in those last 10 seconds? The KIA exec was standing over Silver with a disgruntled face the whole time. It's disgusting how hard he shills for sponsorships.
