NBA playoff games are back now and players will move on with their games. The Milwaukee Bucks had their game against the Orlando Magic and other teams will finish the first-round series too. The Bucks were the first team to boycott Game 5 following the shooting of Jacob Blake. Other teams followed their way, including LA Lakers. There were no games in the past three days. The situation was pretty tense but players and coaches reached an agreement with the NBA. They will move on with the playoff run. LeBron and his team are off to finishing the first round against the Blazers. King James was one of the many players to support the end of the playoff run. The plan didn’t work and the great LeBron James made a statement with his outfit.
LeBron James picks an outfit for the win
The three-time NBA champion wore a shirt by UNINTERRUPTED. He brought the attention to George Floyd who died after police officer Derek Chauvin kept a knee on his neck for eight minutes.
LeBron joined the sea of athletes who seek justice for the death of Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other unarmed people like them. Blake is not dead but he is paralyzed from the waist down. Someone has to give answers and NBA players won’t stay calm until the situation is fully resolved.
Many NBA players wanted to sit out the playoffs because of the protests against police brutality and systemic racism. They thought that going back to the floor would affect their efforts. Well, players of 22 teams made their way to Orlando and finished the seeding games.
The Blake shooting added salt to the injury. Players are fed up. Society is fed up. Millions of Americans want a better future for their kids and they won’t just sit there and play ball. They will do whatever it takes to make a change.
LA plays the final game of the first round. They won three games and lost Game 1. This series was marked with a big win thanks to LeBron and the excellent performance of his teammates.
