The Lakers each had the T-shirts on their chairs in their dressing room before the game. Every player except backup center Robert Sacre wore the shirts.
"I think it's us supporting that movement and supporting each other as well as athletes," Bryant said after the game. "I think the beauty of our country lies in its democracy. I think if we ever lose the courage to be able to speak up for the things that we believe in, I think we really lose the value that our country stands for.

They meant it for the girl murdered in a literal lynching in Mississippi right? /s/
“I Can’t Win.”
DILLIGAS? You couldn’t pay me to go to an NBA game.
I assume Bryant supports his teammates right not to wear the shirt based on his quote and will defend that player against any criticism.
That’s what I thought.... They can’t breath AND they can’t play basketball.
Sounds like ESPN is getting political. Didn’t they fire Rush Limbaugh because he was too political on a sports channel?
I wonder what would happen if someone wore a “Stop Abortion Now” shirt.
I guess they’ve determined that it’s worth losing about 40% of their customers.
Or a “Stop Government Redistribution” shirt?
Keith Olbermann is now under the employ of ESPN. Don’t forget Dana Jacobsen when she used a vulgarity against Jesus and was “suspended.” ESPN is a contributing factor in the dumbing down of America.

They should give one to PJ Carlisimo. Sprewell once choked him.
What would happen if Congress eliminated tax write offs for sports events?
No, they fired him because he pointed out their political correctness cr@p way back then, and they didn't like it.
Why wouldn’t the Negro Basketall League help Obama sell carbon credits. The über wealthy will be trading them on the stock market and try to buy as many credits possible when they start deciding who can breathe or not.../s
