His death has sparked protests and riots across the nation, with clamors of change and reform flooding the news and social media. The NBA has been one of the most progressive sports leagues, allowing its players the freedom to speak out on issues and urge their followings to take action.
LeBron James, for example, has been one of the league’s strongest and most profound voices, using his platform to bring awareness to social injustices throughout his career.
