CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday that returning the All-Star Game to Charlotte in 2019 is a high priority, provided theres a resolution to a North Carolina law that restricts the rights of LGBT people.The NBA recently decided to move the 2017 All-Star Game to New Orleans because it didnt believe it could successfully host the All-Star Game and related events in Charlotte under the climate created by the law known as House Bill 2. Los Angeles hosts the game in 2018.Silver spoke following a ceremony in Charlotte in which Hornets owner Michael Jordan unveiled the first of three refurbished neighborhood basketball courts.We were in an unfortunate position that we were moving the game, so for me it is a high priority given the investments in the arena, given the investments in the team that Michael and his ownership group has made, and the city and state have made in the Hornets, Silver said.Several concerts and sporting events have been relocated from North Carolina because of HB2.Jordan was not made available for interviews.In a statement to the Charlotte Observer in April, Jordan said the Hornets are opposed to discrimination in any form, and we have always sought to provide an inclusive environment.The law excludes gender identity and sexual orientation from local and statewide antidiscrimination protections. It also requires transgender people to use restrooms at schools and government buildings corresponding to the sex on their birth certificates.Silver was reluctant to talk about what he wants to see changed with the HB2 law, but he did say he thinks it is a misnomer to call it the bathroom bill, as some have dubbed it.The issues that we are primarily focused on are those of acceptance and inclusiveness -- and the bill goes far beyond directing what bathrooms people should use, Silver said. From that standpoint, it has been misrepresented. Ultimately for us, its about creating the right environment, specifically for a celebratory event like our All-Star team.During the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Latta Park, Jordan spoke about recent events in Charlotte, including rioting following the police shooting of a black man last month.Charlotte is a very special place for me and my family, he said. Together me and the Hornets, and the colleagues of the Hornets, will continue to work every day to reject violence, change perceptions and restore the trust between law enforcement and the community.Jordan said seeing kids at the new court gave him hope for the future.It reminds me of the great lessons that I have learned from the great game of basketball -- all of the things that the game has taught me, he said. How to learn. How work hard each and every day. The value of teamwork. The importance of communicating with your teammates, and how preparation and hard work and perseverance and what it teaches you every day. Winning feels great, but you can learn a lot from losing and competing.Adidas Superstar Baratas Mujer .

Adidas Superstar Hombre Baratas .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play.CHICAGO -- There were times when the Chicago White Sox thought they were at their low point, only to sink to another level. Maybe now, theyre climbing back. Alex Rios and Tyler Flowers homered, Hector Santiago pitched into the seventh inning and the White Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 4-2 on Sunday to salvage a split of their four-game series. Conor Gillaspie made several diving stops at third base and drove in a run, and the White Sox looked like a team that just might be waking up. Theyve won two in a row behind strong starts from Santiago (2-4) and John Danks after dropping 10 of 11 to fall into last place in the AL Central. Their bats are showing some life as well, and maybe theyre emerging from this as a tighter group. "You think you hit rock bottom and theres more to go in some cases," Paul Konerko said. "Sometimes, that can kind of bring the team together. ... There have been some moments where its been so bad that I think (for) guys, it just reinforces how to do it right and to pick up your teammates because sometimes thats all youve got. Really, this year thats all weve had is to treat teammates well and try to be a positive influence. Its not easy when everythings going bad. You just hope that at some point it goes as good as its gone bad." Konerko also realizes, "Were not out of the woods yet." But this was a good step for the White Sox. Flowers tied it 1-all in the third after Coco Crisp homered in the top half. The White Sox grabbed a 3-1 lead in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Gillaspie and an RBI double by Gordon Beckham. Rios chased A.J. Griffin (5-5) with a solo homer in the eighth to make it 4-2. Santiago was simply superb after Danks and Addison Reed combined on a four-hitter Saturday, and the Athletics lost for just the fifth time in 23 games. "This team is not losing any confidence after losing two right here," Oaklands Josh Donaldson said. "Chicago is a real good team and theyve got real good pitching and theyve got some bats in that lineup that can hurt you." In and out of the rotation after opening the season in the bullpen, Santiago got the call with Jake Peavy sidelined by a broken rib and delivered in a big way. The left-hander allowed two runs -- one earned -- and four hits while striking out six and walking three.dddddddddddd "When stuff like this happens, you take advantage of it and just run with it," Santiago said. "Were all hoping for Peavy to come back as soon as possible, but for now, Ill enjoy the role." Santiago left to loud cheers with a two-run lead after walking Josh Reddick with one out in the seventh. Matt Lindstrom came on and gave up a bloop single to pinch-hitter John Jaso before Adam Rosales grounded into a force. Matt Thornton then threw wildly to first on a pickoff attempt, allowing Reddick to score and pull Oakland within one, before Crisp popped out. Jesse Crain retired the side in the eighth, giving him 24 straight scoreless innings and 25 appearances in a row without allowing a run. Reed worked the ninth for his 19th save in 20 chances and his second in two days. Griffin allowed seven hits and struck out five while walking one but got little support. The Athletics managed only five hits at the plate, although they might have had more if not for Gillaspie. He dove to his right to rob Donaldson in the third and lunged to his left to take one away from Jed Lowrie in the fifth. Gillaspie did it again in the eighth, diving to his left to rob Yoenis Cespedes. "This is one series," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "Weve been pretty good. You always want to be your best and play your best and the expectations of scoring a bunch of runs every day, the reality is sometimes thats not going to happen." NOTES: OF Chris Young was back in Oaklands lineup as the designated hitter after missing Saturdays game because of an illness. He went 0 for 2. ... The Athletics are finally off on Monday after playing 17 straight days. ... White Sox manager Robin Ventura had some praise for the Chicago Blackhawks, who beat the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night to advance to the NHLs Stanley Cup finals for the first time since winning it all in 2010. "You look at how you pick yourself up," he said. "Last night, late goal, a lot of different things can happen at that point. But they stayed with it. I think Coach Q (Joel Quenneville) has done a great job. Im happy for him." ... Dylan Axelrod (3-4, 3.73 ERA) starts Monday for the White Sox against Toronto knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (5-7, 4.66).
