JR Smith Speaks On Impact Of Game 5 Postponement

The Milwaukee Bucks were the first team to boycott Game 5 of the first-round series after the shooting of Jacob Blake. NBA players came to Orlando to make a statement and voice their opinion on the current situation. A police officer shot Blake in the back in Kenosha and the 29-year-old is now paralyzed from the waist down. Millions of people have taken the streets to protest against systemic racism. JR Smith spoke about the boycott of Game 5 and many players will agree with him.

Players of all NBA teams joined forces. They are trying to find a solution to the current situation. NBA superstars failed to deliver a message during games and boycotting games may be the next move.

Milwaukee boycotted Game 5 a few minutes before the beginning. The Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder did the same thing.

A lot of athletes have taken to social media to discuss the protests. Lakers veteran guard shared a message and from what we can see, he supports the boycott.

JR Smith doesn’t regret rescheduling Game 5

NBA players have never seen anything like this before. Boycotting playoff games is not something we are used to doing. Superstars don’t like the fact that their voices are not heard. Neither of them is willing to let their efforts die down. They are spreading an important message but nothing helped. NBA players really like to win games and finish the season with a win. But they are also trying to improve the situation in the US.

Lakers superstar LeBron James was the first to oppose the return of games. Well, he changed his mind and now he wants the NBA to make a move. King James needs a solution and he is unhappy with the current situation. We need to move on from here. The NBA has to make a move.

NBA players decided Thursday morning to resume playoff games. However, the games for the day were postponed and teams will probably play them over the weekend.

LeBron and the Lakers have had their team meetings. What will happen next? No one knows.
