Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes had a message for the American Airlines Center crowd on Saturday.
He took the microphone before the Mavericks faced the Los Angeles Lakers, addressing the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
“His [King’s] message of equality for everyone is more important than ever,” Barnes told the crowd, who responded with a nice ovation.
Barnes and several of his teammates wore “I have a dream” shirts during warm-ups and on the bench to honor King. The front had “I HAVE A DREAM” and the back is a quote from that famous speech along with the date of it, Aug.
