Xiao Hua: Public opinion is not always correct. I want to put myself in Ballmer and Xiao Ka s shoes.

September 11th NBA President Xiao Hua met with the media after the NBA board meeting and talked about the investigation into the Clippers' suspected evasion of the salary cap.

Xiao Hua said: "The purpose of a comprehensive investigation is to find out whether there is really misconduct. In sports events that are of public concern, the public sometimes draws conclusions that were later proven to be completely wrong. If I were in a situation like Ballmer and Leonard, I would put myself in my shoes and they would definitely hope to be treated the same."
