At first I didn’t see the point in boycotting a game, but I understand it now. To show the seriousness of the situation. To legitimately make a stand. I was just in the car and heard all over the radio how the NBA has boycotted games. That’s what the players wanted to happen...

they wanted people to understand the severity of the situation, and how they want change. No matter your belief on the situation, or your emotions, you have got to feel for the players. Yes, they get paid millions to play basketball, and yes, they are a source of entertainment...

for all of us, but they think just like we do. They’re normal people that want change, just like everyone should want. Of course I’d love for the season to end and there’s nothing more in the world I love to do then watch NBA basketball, but I understand why these players are...
