"You wear a pink ribbon to support breast cancer is one thing. Putting BLM in the middle of the court when it's not supported by virtually any Republican in the country [is another]," she started.

Cuban then oddly asked Kelly "which BLM group" she was referring to.

"It's a group founded by Marxists, who want to dismantle the nuclear family and defund the police," Kelly responded.

Cuban claimed that BLM.com and the movement were not the same: "You never, ever heard [the NBA] talk about Marxism."

Kelly got him again: "To pretend BLM — dot com, or otherwise — is not about defunding the police is dishonest. The basketball players have made clear, they support that."

Cuban didn't deny that certain players want to dismantle the police. "Individual players can have their opinions," he says. The NBA "is interested in police reform. We've never talked about defunding the police."

Though Cuban is correct the NBA, as a unit, has never stated they are for defunding police, the league has fully embraced BLM. The group, as Kelly notes, "devotes" itself to defunding law enforcement agencies across the country.

Cuban tried to argue that there was no one speaking for BLM, but that isn't true either.

"The co-founder of BLM, Patrisse Cullors, was on TV saying, ‘We should abolish law enforcement,'" Kelly noted. .. "Your audience is fleeing," Kelly said on the topic of viewership decline. "They object to the politicization of the league… [The NBA] has suffered."
