NBA star responded to the league’s decision on Wednesday, explaining why he did not agree with the punishment Sarver received.
“Read through the Sarver stories a few times now,” James tweeted. “I gotta be honest…Our league definitely got this wrong. I don’t need to explain why. Y’all read the stories and decide for yourself. I said it before and I’m gonna say it again, there is no place in this league for that kind of behavior. I love this league and I deeply respect our leadership. But this isn’t right. There is no place for misogyny, sexism, and racism in any work place.
The NBA investigation found Sarver said the n-word at least five times during his 18-year ownership tenure in Phoenix. The investigation also notes Sarver, including saying numerous “sex-related comments toward female employees.” Sarver also made “inappropriate comments about the physical appearance” of both women who worked for the team and elsewhere, and he also reportedly engaged in “inappropriate physical conduct toward male employees.
