When asked if the NBA’s relationship with China was an example he was pointing to, Barkley responded, “Yeah, I don’t want to practice selective outrage.” As a follow-up, Barkley was asked if it is different if you are basically receiving a check from the Saudi government. “Now, that’s semantics,” Barkley said. “I’m a Nike guy, also, so I’m not going to do that thing where I pick and choose what I’m outraged about, where my money comes from. I just don’t think that is fair. I think that makes you a hypocrite. And let’s be fair, all these golf tours have played in Saudi Arabia and China. That was my point.”
