he's right thoMy boy said all black players should form their own league called the National Negro Basketball Association because nobody will watch the NBA with a bunch of J.J. Reddikks playing against each other.

Game of Zones has come to life.
interesting to see Barnes about face on this if it is one because he’s the original source about players not wanting to play 
Still no superstars saying anything which makes me think they don’t think Kylie is a serious threat
No lebron, CP3, harden, AD, Westbrook, dame, giannis comments or sourced info from them

I respect whatever decision the players make and see pros and cons for either side.
But for this to truely be affective the burden can’t just be placed on the NBA players.
All Black athletes in all sports college and professional should sit out 2020.
It makes no sense to have NBA brothers boycotting in August and NFL brothers coming out to play in September.
Either go all in as a people or don’t do it at all..
We can’t have Black unity splintered by these leagues.
This whole thing about cherry picking the NBA as the conscience of Black America is silly.

Perkins man...
I maintain that everything that the players could do during a boycott they can do while playing outside of physically protesting themselves. either way, I still havent really seen concrete plan/goals. I would hope some of that is being discussed amongst the players now.
I understand people who think that boycotting would make a grand statement. however I think that boycotting now wouldnt be clearly seen as a social statement. By that I mean that amongst the public at large many would perceive the reason for the stoppage to be just as much if not more about covid than anything else. of course the boycotts branding would be improved by continued messaging from the players. what I think would be the better course of action would be to finish this season. when they return make public their list of immediate demands of the NBA with a deadline of Oct 1, which I think is approx when training camps typically open. If said changes/demands arent done at that point then boycott the upcoming season.
I think this serves multiple purposes. It reinserts the NBA into the forefront to increase players platforms which helps whatever aspect they individually decide to push, holds the NBA accountable as the demands would be very public and could be followed/observed by everyone, holds the players accountable, and would demonstrate successfully executed action that could be patterned after by other leagues/groups. If this scenario did lead to a boycott it would be more clearly be about social issues having cut away at least some of the covid noise.

This is all pointless speculation to me because we all know the players will buckle and the NBA will start again in July.
