The NBA is planning on painting "Black Lives Matter" on courts when the season restarts in late July, ESPN reported Monday. The league and the players' union, the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), reportedly agreed on highlighting the movement at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.
The death of George Floyd has pushed Black Lives Matter to the forefront, inspiring protests that included some current players. As NBA leadership and its players were in discussions to return playing, some stars brought up the possibility of not playing to retain the focus on social justice issues. Now, according to the report, the NBA will use the hardwood to keep the spotlight on the movement.
It is movement all right—a bowel movement.
Boycotting the NBA is a total no brainer.
Oh, this is good. If there’s any place where black lives have heretofore been systematically ignored, it’s the NBA.
“That’s a shame...”
Nice, I hope the rioters stampede the game and steal their Gold.
My decades of Laker fandom have just abruptly ended.
Of course, after all, how much do they pay those poor basketball players - if they pay them at all! -sarc off-
Hey...NBA!
Lives Matter!
If you need a color
in front of those words
YOU are a racist
Any oince of me that may have thoight aboit watching the NBA again are dead and gone. Done with every pro sport except MLB for now.
Why not Cracker Lives Matter painted in the ice at NHL games?
As if I needed another reason to ignore the NBA.
Doesn’t bother me. I don’t watch the NBA.
Why not a nice portrait of Karl Marx on center court?
Bitter Lying Marxists
Corporate Marxism
More accurate...
“Black Gazillionaires Matter”
or...
“Blacks Playing Children’s Games Matter”

THey can paint what ever the f*#k they want on the court I can’t stand basketball and I REALLY cant stand the primadonna players of today. Pro Basketball died when MJ retired.
Aren’t they the 1%, or was that the last U.S. marxist revolution.
Change that to hosers but more likely we’ll black lives matter on the ice as well.
The NBA is racist. Ok.
