Tatum had some minor issues, but he was clearly a league president whose merits outweighed his faults.
That was evident from the NBA's prosperity after changing presidents.
Just because of some temporary loss of profits, these team owners wanted to replace him?
Their shortsightedness was just like Xiao Hua's. Was this some kind of American affliction?
And setting Tatum aside for the moment, these people actually wanted Xiao Hua to come back?!
After what Xiao Hua had done, he should have been beaten to death with a stick long ago.
Like a criminal guilty of a heinous crime, he should have been executed long ago.
More than half a year had passed, yet now they were telling him the death sentence would not be carried out and giving him a probationary period instead? That was basically a life sentence!
Would good behavior eventually turn life into twenty years, and twenty years into early release?
Tang Tian could not accept that at all.
The day after the league's regular meeting ended, Dempsey and Gayle Benson arrived at Tang Tian's estate together.
The feud between Xiao Hua, Tang Tian, and the Pelicans was known to everyone. Now that Xiao Hua wanted to return to power, they naturally had to find a way to stop him.
"You have your methods, and I have mine. I'll arrange an exclusive interview with TNT and use it to make my stance known."
Tang Tian knew exactly why the two had come, so he had no intention of being polite.
He was now the Number One Player in the League, and his influence was nothing like before. If he made his position clear, many fans would take it into account when making their choices.
News of Tatum stepping down and Xiao Hua seeking a comeback stirred up
