Frustration, sadness and anger were evident around the NBA on Friday, the day video was released showing how Tyre Nichols was killed by five Memphis police officers. Several teams released statements of support for the family, as did the NBA and the NBPA.

"We are outraged by the deadly beating that Tyre Nichols received from five Memphis police officers," the Bucks said in their statement."While the police officers being charged for their heinous actions is an important step for justice, this incident further highlights the need for progress in improving police-community relations."

Video of the killing was released Friday evening. It was not immediately clear if the Grizzlies viewed the video before their game. The union said it would"continue to monitor the investigation and legal proceedings in search of justice for Tyre and his family."

It would be nice if you noted what color the police officers are and why they killed him.

ESPN and the NBA are two of the poster children for how to destroy a business that was once a business that could never be destroyed

Hey Espn you forgot to mention these 5 cops were also black. You gonna get those racists thinking 5 WHITE cops killed a black boy. Come on man, do better or you gonna stoke the racism fire here.

Stick to Sports ESPN! This is why you continue to purge viewers!

This is why I stopped watching the NBA

ESPN using a tragedy to boost their ratings. Comply with law enforcement when required and you won’t die.

Did any statement say “comply with police officer’s instructions”?

Black police officers BTW You forgot to mention that

😂😂😂😂😂

This is a tragic situation but why is ESPN covering this so heavily. I’m watching ESPN for SPORTS.

ESPN makes millions from gambling advertisements, so you have to question whether they really care about their fans or whether it's just a lot of PR.

Stay in your lane ESPN and let news networks be news networks and sports networks be sports networks. This channel has been diluted as it has become blatantly political.

Ok, not sports. ESPN sucks.

Stick to sports, and teams/players should too. Stop dividing America. The 5 cops are arrested and need to go to prison, stop flaming the fires and riots.

Good

What did they say about China and the slaves?

What no refusal to play, does Lebron have his Malcolm X book with him

Another reason nobody watches the nba anymore

Rip

Tried to watch sports center but you guys turned it into CNN … RIP but you’re doing way too much

Imagine. Have this to distract from the presidential scandal .. y’all are puppets

I was so upset I gave the Uighurs who make my Nike sneakers, the day off and a extra bowl of cold rice

How about you cover sports and stop trying to be cnn?🤷🏻‍♂️

Still whities fault

First off - this has nothing to do with sport. 2nd - how come you don’t headline when a police officer gets shot

Nobody cares what the racist Lebron thinks

They should donate some of that NBA cash to help the family, or they can 'act' concerned and go live their lush lives while complaining about injustice.

They didn’t say that they were black police officers. If they were white, it would have been all in CAPS!!!

Frustration, sadness,blah blah blah All 5 cops were black,what do they REALLY have to say now?

Cancel games until the George Floyd bill is passed. NBA NFL

It’s just ridiculous anger. Bad things happen every day. U are appalled at that while millions of babies have been aborted over the last 50 yrs. It’s all political. U hate our cops who put their lives on the line everyday.

ESPNNBA “Five Memphis police officers”. Seems like there’s a word missing here..

Racism should end as of right now.

Black male beaten to death by 5 BLACK NOT WHITE police officers....not making CNN? sorry...black on black violence rules America 🤔😎

Good thing these events are rare.

Play sports!!!!!!!

Why dont they talk when other black people die of gun violence?

ESPNNBA What did he do to get shot is the only question . Obviously race can't be a factor because black cops did it , so what did he do

Kyrie bout to take a month off

But when African American people shot each other on a daily basis throughout America many of which are teenagers none of this stuff gets anything like this. Why only when the police are involved? Asking for a friend

i wonder where is BLM rn

Why aren’t cities burning to the ground this time

These officers knew Nichols. They knew him and didn’t want him talking. Drugs, gangs, whatever you want to say….all of the above.

Should have also put up a video of those three beautiful children that were killed by their mother……

It’s a shame that five black cops killed a fellow black man. Rotten culture.

Really? You are a sports page that is apparently so desperate for likes and clicks you find the need to post this. Stick to reporting on just sports.

Why is the nba not doing more about this? They need to donate more money to help and stop this, they are a multi billion dollar organization. NBAPA needs to take a stand and sit out a while if the NBA is just going to be silent, disgusting

No one cares, post SPORTS

Was it racist or not

Boo boo

And, nothing will change

Will nba players request a game off due to this?

That’s crazy wolves own Memphis btw

Kill all of them too. Eye for an eye 💯

Why aren’t cities burning to the ground this time?

ESPNNBA Rip man that was sad

Wrong is wrong no matter the race. I am so disappointed. What the heck were they thinking 😔 What goes through people's minds, to think this is ok? This is what we hear gangs doing. Black cops is what we need, there’s no need to fire them and charge them all with murder. They made a mistake bruh but we need their diversity anyways so why not just keep ‘em 👍

Tyre Nichols' family speak out ahead of alleged police beating death video release | LIVEAmid concerns over what's been described in the footage as a vicious beating of Nichols by police, officials are calling for any demonstrations over Nichols' death to be conducted in a civil manner. DA George Gascon refuses to uphold the law and his failure to prosecute crime is endangering Angelenos. A large group of folks who don’t care about anything will use this to trash their city. I ask, look at the same group will match those of other riots in major cities from the past. LIVE: Attorney Ben Crump says of charges brought against officers in connection with Tyre Nichols' death: 'We want to proclaim that this is the blueprint going forward for anytime, any officers... will be held accountable.'
