NBA players finally arrived en masse to the league’s theme park campus over the last week, and quickly the content machine started kicking into overdrive. So far we’ve already experienced jokes about who is using the “snitch” hotline, players accidentally breaking their quarantine, reporters sharing their hotel room exercise routines, exhaustively detailed accounts about room service, who has gained and who has lost weight, and the “mysterious” absences of certain players who are being kept away from the rest of their teammates for “undisclosed” reasons. And then we have Nuggets forward Jerami Grant.
Speaking with the media on Wednesday, Grant answered nearly every single one of his questions with a reference to the killing of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT who was fatally shot by police officers who entered her home without knocking on March 13.
