Videos on social media showed the protestors carrying signs that read "Human Rights Matter! Here + There!" and "NBA Stand for Freedom" while wearing tee shirts that read "Free Tibet" and "Stand With Hong Kong" at the Barclay Center in New York City. A representative for the group reported that the group continued chanting until security guided them out of the basketball court and that protestors will continue to appear at NBA games to come.
The NBA, meanwhile, has come under harsh criticism for its statements from social media and China critics, who say the league is seeking to preserve its relationship with China because they do not want to lose its business while Hong Kong is seeking to preserve its autonomy.
