Adam Silver will not be suspending James Harden for partying in Vegas and breaking protocols because it's Christmas. I'm speechless https://sports.yahoo.com/adam-silver-james-harden-wasnt-suspended-for-partying-because-its-christmas-214547255.html

Love James but he needs to be smarter with his choices - especially with Covid ravishing this country.

When common folk choose to not wear a mask its one thing.

When a known personality like him does it it's another thing.

Both instances BAD - but his WORSE because of who he is.

Silver, the league office, media partners, and sponsors are wildly corrupt. I hope very much to see them brought down some day.

If it was Marcus Smart, 10 game suspension and $60k fine.

He pretty clearly said it was a first offense and the penalties ratchet up.  The season is 2 days old.

It is shocking that Smart has not been suspended for Harden's infraction.

This is one of the reasons why NBA have lost a tremendous amount of viewers.

I genuinely doubt this has even registered as a reason for anyone who hasn't been watching as a reason to not watch.

Yeah, but it’s not really a first offense, which makes that justification a bit silly.

Harden was late to Rockets training camp because he was allegedly partying in Atlanta and Las Vegas without a mask, as seen in a video and several photos on his Instagram.

Silver was asked about that.  He wasn't under the coronavirus protocols until he reported so it was actually a 1st offense of violation of the protocols.

Seems bizarre.  So you can show up as late as you want, after the league year starts, and you can’t be punished for the behavior that made you late?

You aren't under the coronavirus protocols until you report.  That doesn't mean you can't be punished for not reporting by the team, but that is a team not league issue.  The protocols are a league thing and you aren't under league control until you actually show up for the season.

It just seems like a strange jurisdictional distinction.  League protocols should begin when a player is under contract and the league year has started.
