In July, the death of U.S. Congressman and civil rights giant John Lewis prompted an outpouring of tributes from NBA players, coaches and teams.
In August, the league officially honored actor Chadwick Boseman with a pregame moment of silence alongside former player Clifford Robinson and college coach Lute Olson after a weekend that tragically claimed all of their lives.
On Saturday, the nation suffered another massive loss with the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at 87 years old. She wasn’t just a leader on the nation’s highest court and its second-ever sitting female member, but a champion of women’s rights and a trailblazer for gender equality long before taking her seat.

Perhaps a statue for killing 20 million black babies?
So true!
99% of the players and 95% of the fans have no idea who Ruth Bader Ginsburg is. Or even what the Supreme Court is, for that matter.
“Black Lives Matter” is largely made up of young white college dropouts and those whites who soldiered on to earn a degree in “Black Studies” or “Middle Ethiopian History”.
All had been indoctrinated at some way left-of-center college or university.
That “BLM” is even concerned with REAL black lives has nothing to do with their mission statement.
There wasn’t any outrage.
Especially since they had such a big Scalia tribute a few years back.
Al Rosen, Cleveland Indians 3rd baseman for ten seasons in the 1940s and 1950s, you stupid ass. Who said she was a comedian?
Yes, the blood of countless young B-ball players is on her hands - and it was all by design.
Plus....WTH does a supreme court justice have to do with basketball?
I thought the NBA was a basketball organization. What does it have to do with politics?
Sorry you guys... I'M fresh out of puerile, unrestrained and wholesale idolatry.
Ginsburg's career had absolutely nothing to do with sports. In the not so distant past, there wouldn't even have been a thought that sports reporters should cover her death.
This is another example of the left wanting to ram their ideology down the throats of citizens in all aspects of their lives.
Fact: RBG came out against players kneeling for the anthem and said it was stupid.
It would take far more than a leaflet to extol the greatness of Sandy Koufax.
Via ESPN, no less.

Speaking to Yahoo! on Monday morning, Ginsburg had some harsh words for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other players who have decided to kneel during the national anthem in protest of racial inequality.
“I think it’s really dumb of them,” Ginsburg said. “Would I arrest them for doing it? No. I think it’s dumb and disrespectful. I would have the same answer if you asked me about flag burning. I think it’s a terrible thing to do, but I wouldn’t lock a person up for doing it.
“I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act. But it’s dangerous to arrest people for conduct that doesn’t jeopardize the health or well-being of other people. It’s a symbol they’re engaged in.”

“If they want to be stupid, there’s no law that should be preventive,” Ginsburg said. “If they want to be arrogant, there’s no law that prevents them from that. What I would do is strongly take issue with the point of view that they are expressing when they do that.”
Hey Rachael, what law states that it is required for a business or organization to pay homage to someone who has just passed?
Oh...my...sides
Don’t worry, they’re having RGB day in the NBA’s Uigher league.....the cast of Mulan will watch the Uighers dribble a ball made of lead....like the soccer ball Saddam Hussain made the Iraqi soccer team kick around
It’s a quote from a movie
Someone doesn’t understand BLM at all.
