This week there has been plenty of news surrounding the boycott of NBA playoff games by players in response to the shooting of Wisconsin man Jacob Blake by local police.
Beginning with the Milwaukee Bucks sitting out Game 5 against the Orlando Magic, leading to the entire league participating in a days-long boycott, the move was unprecedented and has caused quite a bit of commotion among fans, players, and media members, with NBA broadcaster Kenny Smith also participating in a walk-out.
However, this is not the first time NBA players have participated in a boycott seeking racial justice within the league and elsewhere.
