Didn't realize Masai had an altercation with security after winning the title at the arena in GS. He was also sued by the sheriff deputy. Body cam footage released showed the story the guy played was a lie.
He was off on"injury leave" and leaked photos of him doing Reno's and lifting stuff at home.

I was watching the finals and you could see the altercation when Masai tried to make his way to the court. Then you see Kyle Lowry grab him and pull him over to the celebration

yes sports news agencies were showing that footage too when they were breaking the news too. i'm glad they were more blunt than 'news' news agencies saying dude was basically straight up lying and masai was right.

Bucks players are not playing game 5 vs Orlando. Boycott in response to Jacob Blake shooting. Props to the Bucks. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article...ries-vs-magic/

The actions of the shooting is not even justified where Jacob were to get shot 7 times. In no shape or form the officers safety was compromised. Respect to the players standing up against the bullshit from the police.

While I sympathize with their cause, I fail to see how their actions (boycotting games or even bigger step of ending the season) help the cause. On the contrary, now they lose the opportunity and the prime time to say anything about it.

By playing the game, they would be losing the opportunity to say anything about it. By refusing to play, they're saying a lot and now the topic is getting a lot more attention.
Currently on TNT, instead of a basketball game, they're talking about it

I agree with skinny, it says a lot when this is being discussed instead of watching a playoff game during prime time.

| The Official NBA thread
When some of the NBA owners, in particular the Milwaukee Bucks owner given that Jacob Blake was shot SEVEN times in Wisconsin, start losing more money from these game boycotts, I hope the owners take action to put pressure on politicians.
How about some NBA owners calling the attorney general and governor of Wisconsin to make sure those cops are under criminal investigation?

You want the NBA owners to lobby politicians to make changes on this issue because they are losing money? Do you seriously think that's a good approach to this? Really ??

Owners will talk to their players behind the scenes after providing a public statement about supporting the boycott.
I don't think for a minute that the owners are willing to lose money with players boycotting games without listening to the players. Listen to the player's demands.
Money talks. Money runs political lobbying. That's how the world works.
The player's approach of wearing social justice slogans or "Black Lives Matter" t-shirts won't turn the tide of systemic racism in our society. Maybe the voice for action needs to come from the very top of the NBA. The owners.

Props to these guys, talk about putting your money where your mouth is.
The fact is the DeVos family are part owners of the Orlando Magic, who are heavily invested in Trump's cabinet and campaign. Quite a few owners are also large contributors to the Trump campaign.
In the player's eyes, why are we playing for an ownership team that invests to heavily in a president that does not see us as human beings? Sounds like the playoffs will continue anyways, the boycott appears to simply be for a day.
I assume some internal negotiations happened in terms of actions from the executives, who knows.

Again, I contend the actions of the NBA players, however well meaning, a bit of an emotional reaction, didn't do a damn thing to the cause. Notta.

Seems you are complaining for the sake of complaining. What would you want them to do? What course of action would satisfy your thoughts here? Would you be happy if they boycotted the rest of the season instead?
We have no idea what negotiations had occurred in order to resume playing, so really we're simply hypothesizing here.

Obviously we don't know what agreements were made to resume play, maybe something substantial was gained through it all but I don't see why they wouldn't tell us if that happened. Right now it just looks like sports took a couple of days off and then it's business as usual.
It's not my place to tell them what to do, but if I took a day off work on Friday to protest and then went to work on Saturday so I still get paid it just looks fake.

"seems like a publicity stunt" right when people were starting to forget the original meaning of BLM, while cops continue to kill black people...
Then they go and make the NBA owners turn all their arenas into polling centers
Like that is just one thing that came out of this, I don't know how that can be dismissed (well I do actually, but)

I would love to see change in America because they are becoming a lost cause. Hopefully those extra polling stations pan out and make a difference in the election. I think if the NBA, NHL, and MLB all joined together and cancelled their seasons it would have made a huge statement. This still comes off as a quick fix to a problem that is so much bigger than extra polling stations. The players look good for attempting something, the league looks good for giving a little. Let's see what happens I guess.

Yeah, it's not possible for someone to just fix everything all at once. But every change for the better is a good thing. Maybe taking a few days off does nothing more than if they'd taken the whole season off? Either way, to see this as anything but a good thing is kinda  | |

No one's saying them cancelling the season would fix it all at once, but I guarantee that today it would still be a huge story demanding attention. Instead, it's "what times the game on today?".
