Don’t even feel right talking about basketball. It is my job...but as a human being and black woman, it seems like I need to be doing more.

Shirts spell out Jacob Blake and have 7 bullet holes in the back. Wow. #Blacklivesmatter https://t.co/0Yi2b6tOgS

Jeanie Buss @JeanieBuss

I was excited to see us play - and hopefully close out our series - tonight. But I stand behind our players, today and always. After more than 400 years of cruelty, racism and injustice, we all need to work together to say enough is enough. #JusticeForJacobBlake #WeHearYou

Some things are bigger than basketball. The stand taken today by the players and org shows that we’re fed up. Enough is enough. Change needs to happen. I’m incredibly proud of our guys and we stand 100% behind our players ready to assist and bring about real change

Where demands can start for systemic change: Divesting from the police and investing into our communities + non police solutions. https://t.co/9YgvAcjaHu

How can you hear the pain Black people are going through and dismiss it as nothing. How can you hear the pain and respond with anything other than “I stand with you.”

FED UP. Ain’t enough money in world to keep overlooking true issues that effect the mind body & soul of what we do. We cannot be happy for self when our communities are suffering & innocent folk are dying.. since George Floyd, there have been at least 20 other police shootings. https://t.co/UmzuuWP7us

Eric Reid @E_Reid35

NBA players, please build on this moment! Avoid being co-opted! The people have worked too hard & risked too much for corporate PR from their role models 2 set them back. We don’t want or need “ride alongs”, we need change. @NBA I hope you’ve learned from the @NFL atrocities

Devin&Jason McCourty @McCourtyTwins

Josh Hader on Bucks boycott: "I think it's a tremendous stand. This is more about sports." Says can't say yes or no on #Brewers boycott. "I'm sure it's something we are going to discuss."

Dwayne Johnson @TheRock

Out of respect for Jacob Blake & his family we’ll postpone our @projectrock @underarmour PR3 launch today. I’ll keep you posted on our relaunch date. Unbelievable we’re here again. Shot 7xs. In the back. In front of his kids. There’s no progress without humanity.

The Gilly Lock @BumpNrunGilm0re

I do not have the words to meet the depths of my frustration & sadness. But, I do know that the senseless killings & shootings of Black Americans by the police and vigilantes has to stop. These are human rights violations. My children deserve better. We all deserve better.

Bubba Wallace @BubbaWallace

We will continue to stand for the countless victims of police brutality. Nothing can justify #JacobBlake being shot 7 times in the back. I proudly support my brothers and sisters from all sports backgrounds and the stance they are taking to fight for equality.

Bubba Wallace @BubbaWallace

I can assure all of you that myself and many of my competitors are continuing to work hard with @NASCAR to continue the efforts and the fight for racial equality. Let’s stand or kneel TOGETHER and continue push for what’s right. Love. Compassion. Understanding #BW🤘🏾
