Probably the most active defender in the game is Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, who encourages other players not to step on the parquet and thus stay focused on the “Black Life Worries” movement.

Houston Rockets defender Austin Rivers, who shared his views on Instagram, still has a slightly different view.

“I am trying to find a correlation. Our return would put money in the pockets of all of us (NBA players). With this money, we could do even more to help blacks and give the Black Cares for Life movement such an important moment that I fully support it.

It is imperative that change take place in society because all injustice lasts too long. But I also know that most players need those checks (cash). 99 percent. NBA players didn’t win as much as Kyrie.

It’s not even worth mentioning that the majority of league players, like the NBA crowd, are made up of African-Americans. Giving our entertainment and giving hope is very important for children. Part of children’s destiny at home and watching the NBA protect them from exposure to bad people and other impending dangers.

I’m not saying basketball is a cure for all of that, but it really helps distract us from the bad things.

There is no need to talk about the possible financial consequences if we do not meet the conditions for TV broadcasts … We would have to create a completely new collective cooperation agreement and the like. It would really harm the NBA and could even lead to the cancellation of next season …

I admire Kyrie’s enthusiasm and willingness to help the movement. It is inspiring. I agree with that, but not at the expense of all NBA careers and players. We can do both at the same time. We can play and we can change the lives of blacks.

The cancellation or boycott of the season, in my opinion, will not. Men want to play and help change the current situation! Rivers wrote.

It was previously announced that players will have the right to choose whether or not to participate in the season update. If a basketball player decides not to go to Orlando, he will not receive a salary for the remaining eight games of the regular season not played.

The renewed NBA season will begin July 30 at the Walt Disney theme park in Orlando. 22 teams will participate at the end of the season.
