Are you talking about player empowerment, players commenting about social issues, or the NBA promoting stars in an effort to promote the league? Cuz those are three different things.

Your initial post solely referenced people talking about Lebron.

Your most recent post included an article about players using their leverage as stars to create super teams, what most people refer to when they mention player empowerment.

The second article in your most recent post was kind of nebulous about what it meant by player empowerment--mentioning both player movement and players speaking on social issues.

Neither article addressed your original comment about how much Lebron gets talked about in the media despite not being a top ten player (he probably still is, but its debatable).

Are you upset about the media presence of NBA stars like your original post stated? Are you upset about players speaking up on social issues? Or, are you upset about players orchestrating movement from team to team? Cuz you seem to be arguing all three at the same time and I don't know what your actual point is.
