Cancel NBA not necessary to risk Covid

Felon admitted having a knife.... u gonna play now?

Didn’t realize the NBA was still playing

R.I.P. NBA

Because a criminal was shot by police?

Here’s my take: Law enforcement needs to go from Judge Dredd to deescalation. If I guy avoided arrest call backup and follow for ex make this (gunfire) a last resort and basically non existent. It’s not fair it disproportionately hurts coloured people in low income neighbourhoods

Is the NBA playing? Huh? I didn't notice.

Has anyone gone over all the facts w/ these guys? They’re coming off as very biased and ignorant

Kill a 5 year old white boy, no one blinks an eye. . . Shoot a career violent criminal after he fought cops and was grabbing for a gun? The NBA cancels games in mourning CNN......Wake up

Oh well NBA you had your run time to disappear

Was anyone actually watching anyway?

You can add this to the list of shit noone cares about.

Players should boycott the games if that's what they feel they need to do. Supporting violent protests however will just hand trump the election. Hate monger trump and his supporters will feed off of this and those on the fence will support him. We need to be very careful here.

Are they working to stem the violence in Chicago each week. If they were they would never play. Who cares if they play or not. They needed more attention because nobody is watching. Maybe Bette Midler.

Why

Good. I hope the season is over.

Maybe my job will excuse me and still pay me if I don't feel like working out of protest......nah I don't have that kind of previlage.

Yawn... I forgot to care....

The ratings were in the toilet anyway. The guy broke the law and resisted arrest. He knew what would happen. Where is the outrage for 5yr old Cannon Tinnant?

NBA season pass holders REKT 🤣

So, let’s get this straight — the NBA *endorses* physically fighting police officers and going to get a gun to murder officers? That’s what THEY HAD TO ASSUME he was doing. While guns trained, you reach for your waistband, reach into a bag, reach into a car? NBA wants dead cops?

Xi Jinping have plans tonight? Couldn’t watch? He’s the one that calls the shots right?

Just cancel the worthless games. We're over the frickin' league already. NBA ESPNNBA NBAonTNT

😉😉😂💪💪 check it out y'all.

There have been too many video evidence not to come to the conclusion that the police involved in the incidents used deadly force with extreme prejudice.

💪🏼💪🏼✊🏼✊🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Good they can play in China next year

👏👏 TKS ! Thank you for standing up!

No

Good. You don’t get the privilege of watching sports when unarmed black men are being killed by the police.
