What do you think a prime Jordan or LeBron would fetch from them? $5 billion a season?
Get the Saudi’s to put up the money for a legit all star game. Miked up and uncensored.
Shit would get real, real quick.
Players showing exactly what they are.
Whores that help sportswash the rulers of a country.

Being paid by a government with blood on its hands just…kinda means you’re paid by a government. Just a matter of how they justify it isn’t it?
American ultracapitalist culture and Saudi infinite money growing from the sand coming together. What can go wrong lol?

Bro Lebron was being ironic, he would never take money that conflicts with his commitment to social justice.
The rest of those greedy bastards were serious tho and are total hypocrites.

They're a murderous theocracy who want to become sportswashed like Dubai and Quatar.
The world is governed by people so infathomably rich that it beggars belief, but instead of feeding the poor in the Middle East so they don't emigrate to Europe, they'd rather spend that and much more on someone who is good at kicking a ball.
It's disgusting, but it gets more disgusting when you realize the same is true in the US and Europe, just less blatant.
Saudis are rich because USA and other first world countries made them rich. It's ok for governments to do business with them but it is unethical for athletes to play for them? Ohh you don't want to make Saudis richer? Then stop using anything that requires oil. Which is pretty much everything. They often do waste their money like an idiot but its insignificant for them and they are desperate for diversification so they do silly infrastructure projects and purchases.

You know who else has oil?
Russia and Iran.
I prefer both those countries over Saudi Arabia.
I can see them getting into basketball at some point.
Just like how China pays ex-NBA players, saudi will be no different.
