#3It’s ~$80 for a men’s NBA jersey. I’ve never been able to understand why they want to charge me out the ass for me to advertise their product. If I was the NBA, I’d give jerseys away like candy and install basketball courts in every park I could in the US to keep interest high in basketball.

Why give them away for free when people will pay you to advertise your business?

#6This shouldn't be surprising to people. The NBA has a bigger fanbase in China than in the USA.

Because they can put your favorite player name and number on it. People are massive fans of these players. I don’t think that the NBA really needs to keep interest high in basketball, because there are already basketball courts everywhere and people have been playing it for 130 years.

Because the best advertisement for their product is people who are actually into the product. You don't need to give away stuff to them to keep them interested, because the product speaks for itself. Furthermore, seeing more basketball around is not going to turn non-fans into fans. To do that you need something that transcends the sport such as a Michael Jordan or 2015 Warriors.
Now, outside the US in places where NBA has not yet saturated your approach makes more sense, but you could also burn a lot of cash for no returns if you're not careful.

Licensing the brands is how they make their money. They keep interest in basketball high so they can sell expensive shirts, not the other way around. Honesty it would be great if pro sports could be run by nonprofits who cared more about inspiring kids to exercise/be active and less about appeasing the Chinese government

#10The funny thing that you can order it from SEA (mostly Thailand) for roughly ~$30 through https://www.dhgate.com/ DHGate is perfect to buy fake jerseys that are pretty much the same with genuine tags. Either stolen from the factory or they work overhours, I don't know. But the quality and the actual product is almost always the same.
