The Hong Kong government must implement this immediately :

- Promoting patriotic education

- Remove the "liberal studies"

- Making Mandarin compulsory at school

The most important thing is education, law won't change anything if young people are still educated to hate China.

Nope! You are absolutely mistaken.
It was actually (white) GM Daryl Morey that made a stink with his "Stand with HK"

A man has been arrested for allegedly wounding a journalist and a citizen with a knife during a protest anniversary demonstration in Kwun Tong on Friday. The 27-year-old was later found to be a former community officer of the pro-Beijing DAB party.

Kwong Sing-yu – who said he was a real estate agent – was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm, as well as unlawfully and maliciously causing bodily harm during the incident at the Tung Yan Street Temporary Public Minibus Terminus.

I don't think many in the NBA made a public comment over Hong Kong except for Morey and then as a result Adam Silver. It was the alt-right who didn't like black sports figures individually in general getting rich from China bringing up Hong Kong. The only celebrity to come close long before Morey's comment was the rapper Common who at an awards show mentioned passing support for the democracy movement in China in a general speech about human rights around the world because it was in the news. Before that there was that already forgotten NBA player being used by Darfur activists to make statements against China as it became a more important market for the NBA.

Joe Tsai (Part owner of Alibaba, Owner of Brooklyn Nets), born in Taiwan, holds Canadian citizenship made a comment.
He said (paraphrasing) separatist notions are a red line to most Chinese.

Per a Bloomberg article

The letter, which cast Morey as ignorant and his tweet as damaging, drew criticism in the U.S. and Hong Kong from those who saw Tsai as following the Chinese government’s line.

Ironic, freedom of speech is only recognized when it's speech that you agree with.
The article also noted the many people who accuse him of being a CCP shill. If think his response reflects many of the same feelings here.

“My upbringing is always that there is one China,” he says.

“I believe that there are strains of separatism, because they don’t want to have anything to do with China,” Tsai says in defense of his letter. “They are very anti-China, burning the Chinese flag, beating up people who speak Mandarin, vandalizing Chinese-owned shops.” In his estimation, although the protests may have begun as a peaceful effort to strengthen the “two systems” part of the handover agreement, they’ve since morphed into a violent attempt to undermine the “one country” part. “People should think very seriously about saying that it’s not a separatist movement,” he says. “I think they should look at the facts.”

I'm sure people are still calling him wumao anyway. Must have written a lot of posts for enough money to buy a New York pro-sports team.

It was Shaquille O'Neal who sided with Daryl Morey.
