    means he bought something from the campaign, likely some cheesy schlock made in China, that counts as a donation.

    LaBron needs to make his greatest stand of all stands and just retire so he can put his full attention towards injustices. Donate his money to charities everywhere and work for the campaigns of his desire. Say inspiring quotes on the news daily. By him doing all this the NBA will slowly become a sports venture again. Maybe if LaBron keeps active he too could find success as a politician. By doing such he then could lead real change.

    MJ reached out to both CP3 and Russ before the players boycott.



    While Lebron was attacking the owners, Russ and CP3 working with MJ to create unity with owners.

    https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/20...worked-with-russell-westbrook-to-save-season/

    Per MacMullan, Jordan urged other owners to allow players to express their frustrations and concerns in a meeting between the sides before offering any of their own solutions. Media reports on Wednesday indicated that Lakers superstar LeBron James was of the belief that NBA owners hadn’t done enough to support the players on these issues.

    “Right now, listening is better than talking,” Jordan told the owners, according to MacMullan. Citing sources, she said owners were unanimous in their support of the players and spent much of Thursday’s meeting discussing ways in which they could help amplify the players’ voices.

    Agree on Russ and rest issue. It also breaks the Thunder momentum.
    As far as stopping police violence, it will be a long tough slog, but if the players start feeling their power, have solidarity and start using all their organized power it could turnout to be an important strand in the movement.

    Agree. It's a restart of the restart and a reset of the reset.

    The Thunder players will be all Inceptioned and will blow their big chance.

    So many obstacles for an championship asterisk ... Whoever wins won't get their credit( unless it's LA)... Nobody is gonna care... Same with baseball (unless Yankees win)...

    I'm guessing it's more than most of us did to address the problem during that time span.

    Refusing to play some basketball game will not sway opinions or perspectives

    "The basketball players aren't playing.It's time to re-evaluate myself"

    Said nobody ever.

    Actually a bunch of people on this board got upset by it and even the President, the avatar of racial grievance, got upset, and the whole nation started talking about it. You're talking about it now at 3 am

    And actually, when basketball was cancelled back in March was when the whole country took COVID19 seriously for the first time. Of course, we didn't take it seriously enough and hundreds of thousands are dead and schools are closed, but, people noticed.

    Lol, are you aware of the disproportionate amount of crimes committed by minorities? Apparently not.

    ON TOPIC

    EG should come off the bench for no more than 10 minutes.
