Shaquille O'Neal said the NBA executive who spoke out in support of the Hong Kong protesters was correct.

“As American people, we do a lot of business in China,” O'Neal said on the league’s opening night, Oct. 22. “And they know and understand our values and we understand their values. And one of our best values here in America is free speech. We’re allowed to say what we want to say and we’re allowed to speak up about injustices, and that’s just how it goes. And if people don’t understand that, that’s something they have to deal with.”
