This is also a good way to get in trouble with customs. Source: Have a friend who bought counterfeit items and got held up at customs for it.
How? They get seized at worst, you get a reship. Nobody cares about it as long as you aren't getting 50+ for resale.
>It is illegal to purchase counterfeit goods. Bringing them into the United States may result in civil or criminal penalties.

#23What is their stance on other political messaging or activism - for instance putting BLM on jerseys or kneeling?
EDIT: comments suggest that the NBA does allow some political message like BLM. It seems like the NBA is now a political organization that is picking sides. Given BLM’s leadership are open, self admitted “trained Marxists” (https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/07/09/say-you-want-a-marxi...) and those supporting a democratic Hong Kong are nearly the opposite, it is apparent the NBA is effectively pro Marxism and anti Democracy.

So you never did anything illegal in your life? Sounds more like you want to scare people from ordering rather than speaking the truth.

#28This shouldn't be surprising to people. The NBA has a bigger fanbase in China than in the USA. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-09/china-s-5...
> This shouldn't be surprising to people. The NBA has a bigger fanbase in China than in the USA. I disagree. The size of the fanbase is surprising, and so is the implication of this behaviour
Agreed. I had no idea that the NBA of all things was beholden to the Chinese market already.

Which is why millionaire players and coaches are absolutely mute (or are muted) on any China issue, or claim that the issue is complicated . I think it's healthy to remind people, from time to time, how Hollywod (e.g. Tencent), the NBA, and other American institutions have sold themselves to CCP money.
Not sure why amznthrwaway is being voted down, but he has a good point.
Americans are used to others having to tiptoe around their sensibilities, and now they're finding out what adhering to a foreign culture's value system is like.
