NBA players reportedly left their call Thursday with league governors positive about their ability to make substantial progress in the ongoing social justice movement to fight systemic racism.
Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report conveyed the sentiments of the call, which came a day after the BREAK of the NBA playoffs to protest against systemic racism and police brutality following police of 29-year-old black boy Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Sunday.

“Everyone said he was optimistic,” Rooks reported on NBA TV.
“They felt the call was productive, which I think is all you can ask for: other people who pay attention to you, other people who listen to you, and other people who understand you.
“And there’s an overwhelming feeling here that owners are understanding it more than maybe other people’s idea before the bubble, yet it’s helping that there are stars that actually do.”
Rooks reiterated his previous report in the day, stating that the four-time NBA Most Valuable Player and Los Angeles escort/striker Lakers LeBron James is the “last voice of the call.”
Sources say Lebron James was the last player to speak and delivered a strong and considerate message to the owners. Its main argument was that the paintings will have to continue and that the owners want to concentrate on promoting this cause.
