The National Basketball Association has postponed all three playoff games on Wednesday's schedule after the Milwaukee Bucks refused to take the floor in protest of the Jacob Blake shooting.-- even though the Magic were already on the court for pregame warmups.The NBA later announced that in conjunction with the Players Association,The other games affected were the Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers.
"Some things are bigger than basketball," Bucks Senior Vice President Alex Lasry tweeted."The stand taken today by the players and org shows that we’re fed up. Enough is enough. Change needs to happen. I’m incredibly proud of our guys and we stand 100% behind our players ready to assist and bring about real change."
Blake, a Black man, was shot multiple times in the back on Sunday by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, which is 40 miles south of Milwaukee.
lol, no play no pay
Jacob Blake was wanted for rape&domestic abuse,had a knife in his hand,&looked as if he was reaching for something in a car when shot by an officer.Why don't we let justice investigate&decide the crime. Jumping to quick conclusions does not work well.More people killed next day.
Oh crap, I want a ticket refund - oh wait, no one paid for a ticket so who gives a damn - No Play, No Pay... 1) No politics in sports, 2) No multi-million $ black players complaining of discrimination and opportunity, 3) Fix 90% of NBA is black but only 13% of population.
Nobody cares!
ALL FANS ' NO MATTER THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN ' SHOULD BOYCOTT ALL GAMES WHEN THEY KNEEL IN PROTEST ' FOR THE BLACKMAN WHO BREAKS THE LAW & MAKES THE POLICE USE FORCE TO DO THEIR JOB ' NOT TO BE HURT ! BULLSHIT !!!!
GET THE ' SOBS OFF THE COURT ' ! LET THE BLACK MAN FEED THESE OVERPAID PLAYERS ! ITS THE BLACKMAN WHO SAYS ' I WON'T OBEY THE POLICE & MAKE THEM TO USE FORCE TO DO THEIR JOB ' ! ALL THESE BLACK MEN WOULD BE ALIVE & NOT BE HURT IF ' THEY DIDN'T BREAK THE LAW & OBEYED THE POLICE '
Nobody cares
Nothing will change with a protest like that of not playing... then for every event like that the world have to stop working? I don't think so..
Most Americans don’t give a shit about the NBA!
You all asked for what’s gonna be next and of course you don’t care but guess what neither do the American basketball fans!
I don't understand... if I protest in my job I would be kicked off to my home ... isn't the N.B.A their working place? Send them home
Dude shouldn't have been a dumbass. Listen to the officer and he'd be behind bars, not paralyzed lol. Law And Order!
Wow guys! How about bringing attention to all the problems plaguing the inner cities and what to do to fix it. Results would be less police shootings
They said enough is enough. It’s time for change. I agree, it’s the for people, white or black or any race, to OBEY THE LAW!!! That would really help a lot
hi
They can all go home to their mansions and exotic sports cars. They need the fans more than we need them. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
For this guy? Twitter keeps removing!
Will anyone notice? No one is watching the games anyway.
The NBA should have marked them as a loss.
😆😂🤣😂😃
NBA NFL you caused all this shit to happen. Hope you lose all your fans…. you lost me a while ago
They should postpone the season and that will solve everything then I’ll have more free time to spend all their millions
