Might not be one big factory but it may as well be.
Theyre made in China, with the same pathetic labour laws as the next warehouse/factory. What province they're in makes little to no difference.

Stop kissing Lebron's ass, he is no better than Jordan and is 99.9% only interested in growing his and his family's wealth.
He gives no f**ks about whether his shoes are made by children.

This just isnt true. Labour laws greatly differ from one province to the next. We have seen that with the solar panel industry whereby both Australia and US only allow manufacturing to be done in certain provinces. Origin Energy got caught purcahsing solar panel equipment made in the Uyghur slave camps for example.

We have seen that with Target USA also who only buy clothes based on the provinces they are made in. Target was doing short run manufacturing (so basically you create in batches of 1000 as opposed to 10,000 ) which is/was being done in more or less slave labour communities. . Its not even the labour itself for clothing material also. They still run some of the machinery from the 1990s to make certain clothes. You can tell by stitching if you pay enough attention

You are arguing against what is fact really. MJ got caught red handed visiting and approving the working conditions his shoes were made in. He just didnt care.

I KNOW RIGHT I had forgotten they signed Westbrook until I checked the box score and he was like 1/6 with 0/3 from three at half time. Big soft spot for Denver and Jokic has shrunk because they signed Westcronk.

Why not just get a cheaper Payton Prichard style guard that will do the 12 rotation minutes acceptably.

From memory the gist of your message was that it was a massive mistake to re-sign either Naz or McDaniels. That hasn't been borne out or proven at all. Technically it hasn't even been proven that the Wolves are a worse team without KAT.

So much this.

Westbrook -24 in 21 minutes. Solid start.
