    MJ is in a conflict of interest position. He's a black man but also an owner of a team comprised of black men. Is his allegiance with his fellow white team owners or with his fellow african american athletes?

    They're not on opposite sides. His allegiance can be to both.

    When asked to endorse President Trump, MJ declined and replied, “Protesters steal sneakers too.”

    While he is an owner... hes been one of the few owners that's hired black coaches and personnel . He may be an owner but he is a player and brand first. This is the GOAT. They let him in the club but he has power to help the players

    What black coaches has he hired? Paul Silas for less than 2 seasons? He fired Sam Vincent after even less. Both of those were almost a decade ago.

    “I don’t want to get into a word or sentence feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn’t educated on the situation at hand, and he spoke, and so many people could have been harmed, not only financially, but physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. So just be careful what we tweet and what we say, and what we do. Even though yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that too.”
