Since the early 1980s, MLK day has became a national holiday, to celebrate the life and legacy of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For an association that has seen their share of race related controversies over the years, the NBA has became a showcase to honor King’s legacy.
The sports world is still buzzing after what took placed this season on MLK day. From Kemba Walker setting a new franchise scoring record with 52 points in the overtime victory against the Utah Jazz, to the Golden State Warriors handing LeBron James his second worst lost of his career, in a 132-98 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
