Freedom of speech isn't in question. Respecting him because he used "a right" or "is honest" is odd. But to each their own.

What is in question is his decision to publicly spread hate. His decision to represent his employer in such a way. The NBA, as an organization, tries to keep its reputation as one of openness and that isn't a secret to anyone employed by the organization. They aren't to be used as a platform to spread hatred. The NBA exercises that right. He let down his organization.

Freedom of speech, as usual, has nothing to do with it. But it, as always, is the first place people run to.
