You know what I'm saying?
Don't--

00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,974
Don't, um, outcast them
because we're no different

00:21:20,104 --> 00:21:22,368
than the people who we're trying
to, you know, fight against
502
00:21:22,498 --> 00:21:24,892
and who we're complaining
about if we do that.
503
00:21:25,022 --> 00:21:26,720
We condemn what happened
in Minneapolis.
504
00:21:26,850 --> 00:21:29,549
I took my helmet off,
they laid their batons down.
505
00:21:29,679 --> 00:21:32,813

not a protest.

It was actually one
of the, um, moments
508
00:21:38,775 --> 00:21:42,823
in-- in 2020 where there was
a feeling of great unity.

JULIUS ERVING:
And, uh, we need
more feelings of great unity,
512
00:21:51,092 --> 00:21:53,312

to be the triggers.

My name is Kimberly Jones.
520
00:22:18,989 --> 00:22:20,208
I am a writer/activist.
521
00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:21,992
I am originally from Chicago,
522
00:22:22,123 --> 00:22:25,605
but I've been living
a long time here in A-town.
523
00:22:25,735 --> 00:22:28,085
And yeah, I'm just--
I'm-- I'm just here
524
00:22:28,216 --> 00:22:30,349
for the elevation of my people.
525
00:22:32,046 --> 00:22:34,527
This movement that we call
the Black Lives Matter movement
526
00:22:34,657 --> 00:22:37,747
is really the
Black Deaths Matter movement.
527
00:22:37,878 --> 00:22:40,707
Because we haven't begun
to tap into Black lives.
528
00:22:40,837 --> 00:22:42,273
Because if you're talking
about Black lives,
529
00:22:42,404 --> 00:22:43,710
you have to talk
about the living.
530
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,626
Then you have to talk
about health care,
531
00:22:46,756 --> 00:22:49,716
education, homeownership,
532
00:22:49,846 --> 00:22:53,241
equity, mass incarceration.
533
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:55,025
This is lives.
534
00:22:55,156 --> 00:22:58,725
This is dealing in making sure
there is safety and equity
535
00:22:58,855 --> 00:23:00,857
and equality for Black lives.
536
00:23:00,988 --> 00:23:03,860
We're in the streets every day
fighting for recognition
537
00:23:03,991 --> 00:23:06,254
and justice for Black death.
538
00:23:08,212 --> 00:23:09,997
When they isolate these stories,
539
00:23:10,127 --> 00:23:14,654
it makes it seem like it's not
as severe as it really is.
540
00:23:16,438 --> 00:23:19,441
There's been over 470 murders
at the hands of law enforcement
541
00:23:19,572 --> 00:23:21,312
of Black and Indigenous people
542
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:24,315
in the last 20 years
in the state of Minnesota.
543
00:23:24,446 --> 00:23:26,579
And they sweep them
under the rug,
544
00:23:26,709 --> 00:23:28,929
and everybody moves on.
545
00:23:29,059 --> 00:23:30,626
BIANCA AUSTIN:
And that's what we're big on
in Breonna's case.
546
00:23:30,757 --> 00:23:33,150
Because nobody has been held
accountable
547
00:23:33,281 --> 00:23:34,674
for anything, you know?
548
00:23:34,804 --> 00:23:36,327
So it's just like a real
549
00:23:36,458 --> 00:23:39,287
slap in the face
for a young lady to be killed
550
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:41,550
in her own home and nobody
be held accountable for it.

TOSHIRA GARRAWAY:
I have a relationship
554
00:23:47,948 --> 00:23:50,907
with Emmett Till's family.
555
00:23:50,994 --> 00:23:53,736
His family looked at the
pictures of my son's father,
556
00:23:53,867 --> 00:23:56,957
the way that he was found,
and she's the one that said,
557
00:23:57,087 --> 00:23:59,263
"This is a modern-day lynching.
558
00:23:59,394 --> 00:24:01,352
This reminds me of Emmett Till."
559
00:24:01,483 --> 00:24:04,138
And that is
what these murders are.

someone get hung
563
00:24:14,365 --> 00:24:17,107
and still just wants
equality for her grandkids
564
00:24:17,238 --> 00:24:20,459

burn this bitch to the ground.

to see all of the elements

anything like this.

"Hey, you guys want to go back
and play basketball?"
595
00:25:48,764 --> 00:25:51,985
I was definitely skeptical
about a return to action.
596
00:25:52,115 --> 00:25:53,987
Looking at where we were at,
as a nation
597
00:25:54,117 --> 00:25:55,989
and as a country as a whole,
I just felt like it--
598
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,078
it might not be the right thing
to do at that time.
599
00:25:58,208 --> 00:26:02,125
I definitely did think
that us playing
600
00:26:02,256 --> 00:26:05,651
could also play into the part
of us being a distraction.
601
00:26:05,781 --> 00:26:07,522
It could've been used
602
00:26:07,653 --> 00:26:10,046
as an attention-grabber
the other way.

ROBERTS:
I completely sympathize
with this notion
604
00:26:13,789 --> 00:26:15,269
that, you know...
I'm-I'm not in the mood
605
00:26:15,399 --> 00:26:17,097
for basketball right now.
606
00:26:17,227 --> 00:26:19,882
I'm in the mood to do
something about stopping
607
00:26:20,013 --> 00:26:22,189
these-these crazy
police officers
608
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:23,886
from shooting people
that look like me.
609
00:26:24,017 --> 00:26:27,890
No question but that
that was a legitimate concern.
610
00:26:28,021 --> 00:26:30,501
I think it's two different
perspectives on this as players:
611
00:26:30,632 --> 00:26:32,547
You choose
to not come back and play
612
00:26:32,678 --> 00:26:34,375
because you think
this is silencing us
613
00:26:34,505 --> 00:26:36,159
by playing basketball
and coming down here
614
00:26:36,290 --> 00:26:38,684
and not protesting
and not demanding justice
615
00:26:38,814 --> 00:26:40,337
before basketball.
616
00:26:40,468 --> 00:26:41,948
You don't want to put
your profession before,
617
00:26:42,078 --> 00:26:43,558
uh, what's going on
in the real world.
618
00:26:43,689 --> 00:26:45,342
But then there's a--
there's another group of us,
619
00:26:45,473 --> 00:26:48,041
which is the group I fall into,
um, that thinks
620
00:26:48,171 --> 00:26:49,782
coming down here
with all the light,
621
00:26:49,912 --> 00:26:51,566
with all the visibility on
what we're doing down here
622
00:26:51,697 --> 00:26:53,437
and all the eyes,
we can use our platform
623
00:26:53,568 --> 00:26:55,222
to actually have
a greater purpose.
624
00:26:55,352 --> 00:26:58,834
Sports plays such
a major role in our society.

00:26:58,965 --> 00:27:01,097

what it's supposed
to represent, I'll stand.

I feel like understanding that
632
00:27:12,848 --> 00:27:14,633
and using that
to the right capacity
633
00:27:14,763 --> 00:27:18,245

by birth and by battle.

that this system,

as police or-- or law--
any form of law enforcement,
648
00:28:06,685 --> 00:28:08,599

that they want to stop crime,

HAMPTON JR.: The Black Panther
Party see the differences
653
00:28:24,137 --> 00:28:25,573
between our people
are reconcilable.
654
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:27,096
However, differences
between the people
655
00:28:27,227 --> 00:28:28,924
and the state
are irreconcilable.
656
00:28:29,055 --> 00:28:30,883
So there's a difference between
a war and a revolution.
657
00:28:31,013 --> 00:28:32,841
A war is two occupying armies.
658
00:28:32,972 --> 00:28:35,017
They suit up, and they boot up,
and they get down to get down.
659
00:28:35,148 --> 00:28:36,976
A revolution, on the other hand,
you win the mass--
660
00:28:37,106 --> 00:28:38,760
the participation
of the masses of the people.
661
00:28:41,545 --> 00:28:43,678
I think we should
utilize NBA players,
662
00:28:43,809 --> 00:28:45,375
athletes in general, artists,
663
00:28:45,506 --> 00:28:47,290
get these messages
going on in the community.

when he refused to stand
for the national anthem.
670
00:29:07,223 --> 00:29:08,616
COMMENTATOR:
Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf,
671
00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:10,574
a devout Muslim,
672
00:29:10,705 --> 00:29:12,663
has been suspended by the NBA...
673
00:29:12,794 --> 00:29:14,665
You can't stand for God
and be for oppression.
674

America is the reason why, uh,
675

he's making the big bucks,
676
00:29:18,582 --> 00:29:20,106
and, I mean,
he should at least respect that.
677
00:29:20,236 --> 00:29:21,585
You know, it really doesn't
affect anybody else,
678
00:29:21,716 --> 00:29:23,283

what he wants to.

But, hey, that's his
personal opinion,
681
00:29:27,635 --> 00:29:29,332
and that's the opinion
that I fight to defend.
682
00:29:29,463 --> 00:29:33,684
People forget that this was
long before Colin Kaepernick.
683
00:29:33,815 --> 00:29:36,862
And the union has always had
a strong commitment
684
00:29:36,992 --> 00:29:41,692
to defending players
who wish to convey a message.
685
00:29:41,823 --> 00:29:43,999
Through the years,
that commitment has evolved
686
00:29:44,130 --> 00:29:47,481
to the point where it is
now off the charts.
687
00:29:47,611 --> 00:29:49,831
We love to play.
Like, we want to play this game,
688
00:29:49,962 --> 00:29:52,181
but at the same time,
you have COVID,
689
00:29:52,312 --> 00:29:54,357
and you have the social
injustice. Should we?
690
00:29:54,488 --> 00:29:55,924
You know, basketball lasts
only but so long.
691
00:29:56,055 --> 00:29:57,708
And these things
that we're dealing with
692

or our families or our
communities are dealing with
693
00:29:59,667 --> 00:30:01,190
are something we're gonna have
to deal with forever.
694

you realize there's
695
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:04,150

Black man killed by the police.
699

by not playing,
700

prevent it by playing.

literally to go away to be
715

716
00:31:03,035 --> 00:31:04,993

tell us if our family was
717

ever gonna ever be able to come.
718

the citizens of Milwaukee.
1011
00:43:30,390 --> 00:43:32,914
Understand that we have
hundreds of interactions
1012
00:43:33,045 --> 00:43:34,655
with citizens each day,
1013
00:43:34,786 --> 00:43:36,962
and those contacts
end positively.
1014
00:43:37,092 --> 00:43:40,792
You know, my pops being a cop,
like, growing up, I mean...
1015
00:43:40,922 --> 00:43:42,445
him being a cop, it definitely--
1016
00:43:42,576 --> 00:43:44,056
I had respect for him
and some of the guys
1017
00:43:44,186 --> 00:43:46,058

because I seen
1018

they put down those uniforms.
1019

They helped the community.
1020

They helped the kids
in the community.
1021

Being a Black kid growing up
1022
00:43:52,542 --> 00:43:54,196
in a Black home,
you're taught a lot of things
1023
00:43:54,327 --> 00:43:55,807
on how to maneuver life,
you know,
1024
00:43:55,937 --> 00:43:57,852
how to behave in public,
how to behave
1025
00:43:57,983 --> 00:43:59,593
when you're pulled over,
and I think you--
1026
00:43:59,724 --> 00:44:02,291

as you go through life.

DOC RIVERS:
My dad was a police officer
1028
00:44:05,817 --> 00:44:07,470
in the area called Maywood.
1029
00:44:07,601 --> 00:44:09,342
Maywood was predominantly Black.
1030
00:44:09,472 --> 00:44:12,998
There were a bunch of
white suburbs all around us.
1031
00:44:13,128 --> 00:44:15,130
Especially in the time
that I grew up in Chicago,
1032
00:44:15,261 --> 00:44:16,915
it was a very segregated city.
1033
00:44:17,045 --> 00:44:20,962
And it was an interesting thing,
I felt safe in Maywood.
1034
00:44:21,093 --> 00:44:23,922
I felt I could go
anywhere in Maywood.
1035
00:44:24,052 --> 00:44:26,141
But my dad always told me,
1036
00:44:26,272 --> 00:44:29,231
if you leave Maywood,
you've gotta be very careful.
1037
00:44:29,362 --> 00:44:31,320
BOY:
Don't make yourself look like
1038

you're about to do anything
or don't cause a scene
1039
00:44:33,453 --> 00:44:34,976
because people can look at you
1040
00:44:35,107 --> 00:44:36,935
and just think you're
about to go do something
1041
00:44:37,065 --> 00:44:39,067
just because you're Black.
1042
00:44:39,198 --> 00:44:41,417
JONES:
Why I was talking to 14-year-old
Black and Brown students
1043
00:44:41,548 --> 00:44:43,898
who had already experienced
police brutality.
1044
00:44:44,029 --> 00:44:46,248
These kids
ain't graduated high school.
1045
00:44:46,379 --> 00:44:49,164
And they already told me
how the safety officers
1046
00:44:49,295 --> 00:44:50,818
at their school treat them
1047
00:44:50,949 --> 00:44:54,909
and the officers
in their community treat them.
1048
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,694
They're children.
1049
00:44:56,824 --> 00:44:58,173
WOMAN:
How do you feel?
1050
00:44:58,304 --> 00:45:00,262
I kind of--
I panic sometimes.
1051
00:45:00,393 --> 00:45:02,395
Now I'm just trying to pace it
1052
00:45:02,525 --> 00:45:04,092
and get the panic off me.
1053
00:45:04,223 --> 00:45:05,615
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
1054
00:45:05,746 --> 00:45:07,574
So I was walking
my dog at night,
1055
00:45:07,705 --> 00:45:10,533
and then this police car
drove-drove by.
1056
00:45:10,664 --> 00:45:12,710
And they just, like,
flashed a flashlight at me,
1057
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,276
and they looked like
they were about to stop.
1058
00:45:14,407 --> 00:45:16,061
When they first looked
at me, I just, like,
1059
00:45:16,191 --> 00:45:17,845
pulled my hoodie down,
'cause I know that
1060
00:45:17,976 --> 00:45:19,934
that's one thing that
they'll, like, think of
1061
00:45:20,065 --> 00:45:22,067
if you have your hoodie on
and all that.
1062
00:45:22,197 --> 00:45:24,243
So I just tried to, like,
1063
00:45:24,373 --> 00:45:27,246
think of reasons
to make them keep going.
1064
00:45:28,813 --> 00:45:30,640
McGEE:
Just culturally,
1065
00:45:30,771 --> 00:45:32,512
we don't look at it
as it's racism.
1066
00:45:32,642 --> 00:45:36,472
We look at it
as this is how it is.
1067
00:45:38,910 --> 00:45:40,738
And we really don't
even realize, like,
1068
00:45:40,868 --> 00:45:43,610
every time
I see a cop, I feel...
1069
00:45:43,741 --> 00:45:46,395
I get tense,
I get... I get nervous,
1070
00:45:46,526 --> 00:45:49,659
and I don't have a drug
or a gun in my car.
1071
00:45:49,790 --> 00:45:53,272
So I should have the same
confidence a white man has.
1072
00:45:53,402 --> 00:45:57,363
Do white people even notice
when the police are by them?
1073
00:45:57,493 --> 00:45:58,668
Because I stop breathing.
1074
00:45:58,799 --> 00:45:59,757
Mm-hmm.
1075
00:45:59,887 --> 00:46:01,062
I'm literally like,

00:46:01,193 --> 00:46:02,585
let me turn my music down
1077
00:46:02,716 --> 00:46:04,413

1078

Right.
1079
00:46:06,024 --> 00:46:07,677
...to make sure
that I don't get shot.
1080
00:46:07,808 --> 00:46:09,505
My father was a policeman.
1081
00:46:09,636 --> 00:46:11,203
He told me one thing.
1082
00:46:11,333 --> 00:46:14,249
When the cops stop you,
do what they tell you.
1083
00:46:14,380 --> 00:46:16,643

on that steering wheel

When he come to that car,
it's, "Yes, sir. No, sir."
1086
00:46:23,171 --> 00:46:25,783
I'd rather, you know,
go file a complaint
1087

to bury my son or my daughter.
1088
00:46:30,831 --> 00:46:33,268
I have a lot of family
in law enforcement,
1089
00:46:33,399 --> 00:46:35,531
and I had one who told me,
yeah, there-there's
1090
00:46:35,662 --> 00:46:38,230
some crooked cops who,
1091

to back them.
1092
00:46:40,885 --> 00:46:43,235

00:57:29,489 --> 00:57:31,622
generation after generation,
1345
00:57:31,752 --> 00:57:34,538
as property and a nuisance...
1346
00:57:34,668 --> 00:57:36,627
that's what the world
was trained to see us as.
1347
00:57:36,757 --> 00:57:40,195
First property,
and then a nuisance.
1348
00:57:41,675 --> 00:57:43,982
How can you empathize
with those people?
1349
00:57:45,287 --> 00:57:47,420
You don't.
Look at the headlines.
1350
00:57:51,946 --> 00:57:53,774
That child, Kyle Rittenhouse,
1351
00:57:53,905 --> 00:57:56,255
was written as a troubled child.
1352
00:57:56,385 --> 00:57:58,562
Trayvon Martin
was written as a thug.
1353
00:57:58,692 --> 00:58:02,087
The white boy
who shot them kids... dead?
1354
00:58:02,217 --> 00:58:04,916
That was at the gas station
a block from here.
1355
00:58:05,046 --> 00:58:06,613
REPORTER:
As the crowd scattered,
1356
00:58:06,744 --> 00:58:08,441
the man walked through
the middle of the street
1357
00:58:08,572 --> 00:58:10,225
with his hands up
as police arrived.
1358
00:58:10,356 --> 00:58:13,707
Though officers did not
challenge or apprehend him.
1359
00:58:13,838 --> 00:58:15,448
JUSTIN BLAKE:
He crossed state lines
1360
00:58:15,579 --> 00:58:17,276
with a military-style weapon.
1361
00:58:17,406 --> 00:58:19,104
He went home.
1362
00:58:19,234 --> 00:58:22,542
If a Black man shot anybody,
went across state lines,
1363
00:58:22,673 --> 00:58:25,545
they would have a task force
kicking down the door
1364
00:58:25,676 --> 00:58:27,895
bringing him back to justice.
1365
00:58:28,026 --> 00:58:29,854
LAUDERDALE:
That's how you know
something wrong
1366
00:58:29,984 --> 00:58:32,857
when people willing
to destroy where they live at.
1367
00:58:32,987 --> 00:58:35,033
That's how you know
something wrong.
1368
00:58:35,163 --> 00:58:37,035
They gave the white boy
$2 million
1369
00:58:37,165 --> 00:58:39,254
to help fund his case.
1370
00:58:39,385 --> 00:58:40,995
JACOB BLAKE, SR.:
I've been getting
death threats since
1371
00:58:41,126 --> 00:58:43,432
the first week I said something
at the news conference.
1372
00:58:44,390 --> 00:58:46,435
Hundred and twenty-two.
1373
00:58:46,566 --> 00:58:48,742
And all I did was
1374
00:58:48,873 --> 00:58:52,050
tell the world my son's
a human being.
1375
00:58:52,180 --> 00:58:55,706
LAUDERDALE:
We was brought here
when we ain't want to be here.
1376
00:58:55,836 --> 00:58:58,447
One of the news guys said,
"Well, why don't you go back?"
1377
00:58:58,578 --> 00:59:01,276
Go back where, motherfucker?
1378
00:59:01,407 --> 00:59:04,453
Like, really, we the only race
in the United States
1379
00:59:04,584 --> 00:59:07,282
do not know
where the fuck we came from.
1380
00:59:07,413 --> 00:59:11,156
The only race that don't know
where we came from.
1381
00:59:11,286 --> 00:59:12,897
-[ siren whoops ]
-Speaking of the devil.
1382
00:59:13,027 --> 00:59:14,333
Don't look at me.
1383
00:59:15,769 --> 00:59:17,771
I live here.
This my neighborhood.
1384
00:59:17,902 --> 00:59:20,252
Shit terrifying.
1385
00:59:20,382 --> 00:59:22,733
See, and they find
the shit funny.
1386
00:59:24,386 --> 00:59:26,475
Just do your job. Don't do me.
1387
00:59:27,781 --> 00:59:29,435
BLAKE, SR.:
At what particular time
1388
00:59:29,566 --> 00:59:34,048
are we supposed to say
enough is enough?
1389
00:59:34,179 --> 00:59:38,139
At what time in the revolution
is that gonna be acceptable?
1390
00:59:39,967 --> 00:59:42,317
Or are you still
gonna be fearful of me
1391
00:59:42,448 --> 00:59:44,711
to kill me before
I can explain to you
1392
00:59:44,842 --> 00:59:47,322
why you don't need
to be fearful of me?
1393
00:59:47,453 --> 00:59:50,195
We all tired of just
seeing the same thing
1394
00:59:50,325 --> 00:59:52,240
over and over again.
1395
00:59:52,371 --> 00:59:54,721
It's amazing to me...
1396
00:59:54,852 --> 00:59:57,637
why we keep loving this country
1397
00:59:57,768 --> 01:00:01,249
and this country
does not love us back.
1398
01:00:01,380 --> 01:00:03,121
You know, it's, uh,
it's getting to a point
1399
01:00:03,251 --> 01:00:06,124
where people are getting tired
and fed up, man. For real.
1400
01:00:10,998 --> 01:00:12,957
-Go right here?
-Yes.
1401
01:00:17,309 --> 01:00:20,660
We... we're going to place
a statement as a team today
1402
01:00:20,791 --> 01:00:24,142
and go back and continue
to educate ourself
1403
01:00:24,272 --> 01:00:26,231
and get better awareness
of what's going on.
1404
01:00:26,361 --> 01:00:29,147
And then we're gonna speak
to you guys later, so...
1405
01:00:29,277 --> 01:00:32,019
We're gonna read
the statement now.
1406
01:00:32,150 --> 01:00:34,152
All right,
the team statement, um,
1407
01:00:34,282 --> 01:00:35,762
"The past four months
have shed a light
1408
01:00:35,893 --> 01:00:37,503
"on the ongoing
racial injustices
1409
01:00:37,634 --> 01:00:39,331
"facing our
African American community.
1410
01:00:39,461 --> 01:00:40,898
"Citizens around the country
1411
01:00:41,028 --> 01:00:42,856
"have used their voices
and platforms
1412
01:00:42,987 --> 01:00:44,902
"to speak out against
these wrongdoings.
1413
01:00:45,032 --> 01:00:47,644
"Over the last few days
in our home state of Wisconsin,
1414
01:00:47,774 --> 01:00:49,820
"we've seen the horrendous
video of Jacob Blake
1415
01:00:49,950 --> 01:00:51,822
"being shot in the back
seven times
1416
01:00:51,952 --> 01:00:53,562
"by a police officer in Kenosha.
1417
01:00:53,693 --> 01:00:55,173
"Despite the overwhelming
plea for change,
1418
01:00:55,303 --> 01:00:57,001
"there has been no action.
1419
01:00:57,131 --> 01:01:00,004
So our focus today
cannot be on basketball."
1420
01:01:00,134 --> 01:01:01,832
RIVERS:
The players decided
1421
01:01:01,962 --> 01:01:04,182
we needed to take a breath.
1422
01:01:04,312 --> 01:01:06,532
It's not lost to me,
the same breath that
1423
01:01:06,663 --> 01:01:08,273
George Floyd
was not allowed to take.
1424
01:01:08,403 --> 01:01:11,058
Our players decided
we're taking one.
1425
01:01:12,712 --> 01:01:15,149
George Hill ignited it.
1426
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,196
Sterling got the fire hotter.
1427
01:01:18,326 --> 01:01:19,763
REPORTER:
The Milwaukee Bucks literally
1428
01:01:19,893 --> 01:01:21,547
decided just before
they went out.
1429
01:01:21,678 --> 01:01:23,549
That's how quickly it evolved.
1430
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,378
When the game stopped,
everyone was having
1431
01:01:26,508 --> 01:01:29,033
a hard time processing
everything that was going on.
1432
01:01:29,163 --> 01:01:31,731
I was shocked.
I was shocked, you know?
1433
01:01:31,862 --> 01:01:35,561
I was-- I totally understood
right away why they would do it.
1434
01:01:35,692 --> 01:01:37,084
We, like, had a game that night,
1435
01:01:37,215 --> 01:01:39,173
so we was getting
our minds right.
1436
01:01:39,304 --> 01:01:41,523
I think I woke up from a nap,
somebody knocking on my door,
1437
01:01:41,654 --> 01:01:43,351
like, yo, the Bucks not playing.
1438
01:01:43,482 --> 01:01:45,397
Even though it was right before
the game, I can see, boom.
1439
01:01:45,527 --> 01:01:47,486
REPORTER:
Russell Westbrook
and Chris Paul.
1440
01:01:47,616 --> 01:01:49,053
Here they are leaving.
1441
01:01:49,183 --> 01:01:50,663
Now, the reason
why this is important is
1442
01:01:50,794 --> 01:01:52,883
Chris Paul is
the president of the NBPA.
1443
01:01:53,013 --> 01:01:55,581
Chris called me and said,
"No one's playing."
1444
01:01:55,712 --> 01:01:58,758
I think that was the same night
we had the first meeting.
1445
01:01:58,889 --> 01:02:00,238
I think it was the same night.
1446
01:02:00,368 --> 01:02:02,719
These-these days
are just blurring.
1447
01:02:02,849 --> 01:02:05,286
There are times where
you know the best thing to do
1448
01:02:05,417 --> 01:02:07,593
is keep the peace,
keep your head down.
1449
01:02:07,724 --> 01:02:10,291
And there are times where
you're called to do something.
1450
01:02:10,422 --> 01:02:12,380
Not playing a game, I mean,
1451
01:02:12,511 --> 01:02:14,339
it seemed like
a grain of sand on the beach.
1452
01:02:14,469 --> 01:02:15,862
[ chuckling ]
1453
01:02:15,993 --> 01:02:18,082
But, you know,
sometimes a grain of sand
1454
01:02:18,212 --> 01:02:20,954
can do a lot of damage
when it multiplies.
1455
01:02:21,085 --> 01:02:23,043
And, uh, it-it sparked
something huge.
1456
01:02:23,174 --> 01:02:25,872
Tonight, the NBA postponing
all three playoff games.
1457
01:02:26,003 --> 01:02:27,874
An extraordinary move
which was then
1458
01:02:28,005 --> 01:02:29,746
followed by the WNBA.
1459
01:02:29,876 --> 01:02:32,357
GREEN:
MLB, NFL, soccer,
1460
01:02:32,487 --> 01:02:34,054
everybody stopped playing.
1461
01:02:34,185 --> 01:02:35,795
REPORTER: Take a look
at tennis, Naomi Osaka,
1462
01:02:35,926 --> 01:02:38,102
she will also be boycotting
in her semifinal match.
1463
01:02:38,232 --> 01:02:40,147
Man, I'm sure back here
in the bubble, they're like,
1464
01:02:40,278 --> 01:02:42,323
oh wow, we--
people are listening.
1465
01:02:42,454 --> 01:02:43,890
ELIZABETH WILLIAMS:
We stand in solidarity
1466
01:02:44,021 --> 01:02:45,500
with our brothers in the NBA
1467
01:02:45,631 --> 01:02:47,241
and will continue
this conversation
1468
01:02:47,372 --> 01:02:48,852
and look to take
collective action.
1469
01:02:48,982 --> 01:02:50,462
This was a different
level of protest,
1470
01:02:50,592 --> 01:02:53,030
a different level of resistance
1471
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,119
than we've ever seen.
1472
01:02:55,249 --> 01:02:56,860
LeBRON JAMES: We are scared
as Black people in America.
1473
01:02:56,990 --> 01:02:58,862
We are-- We are terrified.
1474
01:02:58,992 --> 01:03:01,429
How many times
in a Black man's life,
1475
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,518
in my life, have I been told,
1476
01:03:03,649 --> 01:03:06,478
"Oh, not right now,
now is not the time"?
1477
01:03:06,608 --> 01:03:10,308
The right time is now.
It's always now.
1478
01:03:10,438 --> 01:03:12,658
WIDMAN:
Black men have the power
1479
01:03:12,789 --> 01:03:15,139
to end almost every
professional sports league
1480
01:03:15,269 --> 01:03:17,750
in the country right now
if they wanted to.
1481
01:03:17,881 --> 01:03:19,926
I think it's best for me
to support the players
1482
01:03:20,057 --> 01:03:22,407
and just not be here tonight.
1483
01:03:22,537 --> 01:03:24,626
I don't agree
with entertaining people
1484
01:03:24,757 --> 01:03:27,368
who are feeding into my demise.
1485
01:03:37,770 --> 01:03:39,337
RIVERS:
Some players were mad.
1486
01:03:39,467 --> 01:03:41,861
I said, "Your anger's
in the wrong place."
1487
01:03:41,992 --> 01:03:44,429
I said, "The biggest thing
we have to do
1488
01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:46,692
"is figure out
what we want to do.
1489
01:03:46,823 --> 01:03:49,738
"And listen,
the Bucks didn't put you here.
1490
01:03:49,869 --> 01:03:52,002
"The cops put you here.
1491
01:03:52,132 --> 01:03:54,352
All right? Racism put you here."
1492
01:03:54,482 --> 01:03:57,442
INTERVIEWER:
Give us your own definition
of systematic racism.
1493
01:03:57,572 --> 01:03:59,096
"What's systematic racism"?
1494
01:03:59,226 --> 01:04:01,533
PAT CONNAUGHTON:
Just to be frank and honest,
1495
01:04:01,663 --> 01:04:05,363
I always thought saying,
you know, I didn't--
1496
01:04:05,493 --> 01:04:07,974
I don't see color, like,
I see all of us as equal
1497
01:04:08,105 --> 01:04:10,542
was a positive thing.
1498
01:04:10,672 --> 01:04:12,196
I had a few
of my teammates say, "No,
1499
01:04:12,326 --> 01:04:14,154
"I want you to see
the color in me.
1500
01:04:14,285 --> 01:04:15,939
"I want you
to see the color in me
1501
01:04:16,069 --> 01:04:17,549
and still treat me
the same way."
1502
01:04:17,679 --> 01:04:19,290
I don't even know
what systemic racism is.
1503
01:04:19,420 --> 01:04:20,944
I just started hearing that
probably, like,
1504
01:04:21,074 --> 01:04:22,423
two, three years ago.
1505
01:04:22,554 --> 01:04:24,121
Racism to me is
just racism, period.
1506
01:04:24,251 --> 01:04:26,514
I never even checked
the definition of it.
1507
01:04:26,645 --> 01:04:29,039
I come from, like,
direct racism where people,
1508
01:04:29,169 --> 01:04:30,605
like, hate you for you.
1509
01:04:30,736 --> 01:04:32,912
Hate you for, like,
the way you look,
1510
01:04:33,043 --> 01:04:34,479
the way you walk,
the way you dress,
1511
01:04:34,609 --> 01:04:37,003
the way you--
whatever you represent.
1512
01:04:37,134 --> 01:04:39,223
NIKOLE HANNAH-JONES:
The way that we are taught
to think about racism
1513
01:04:39,353 --> 01:04:41,181
is it's just about
someone's bad feelings.
1514
01:04:41,312 --> 01:04:44,706
Does someone like me or not?
That's frankly irrelevant.
1515
01:04:44,837 --> 01:04:49,015
Racism has always been about
economic exploitation and power.
1516
01:04:49,146 --> 01:04:52,497
Slavery was a system
of economic exploitation.
1517
01:04:52,627 --> 01:04:54,586
It was turning people
into property
1518
01:04:54,716 --> 01:04:56,675
in order to be able to extract
1519
01:04:56,805 --> 01:04:58,590
as much profit as you could
from their bodies.
1520
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,419
The racism came
in order to justify
1521
01:05:01,549 --> 01:05:04,944
the economic exploitation,
not the reverse.
1522
01:05:05,075 --> 01:05:07,468

...believe that slavery
put a curse on us somehow.
1523
01:05:07,599 --> 01:05:09,514
BALDWIN:
Well, it is a curse.
1524
01:05:09,644 --> 01:05:11,342
You know?
1525
01:05:11,472 --> 01:05:13,822
Um, the American sense
of reality is dictated
1526
01:05:13,953 --> 01:05:15,737
by what Americans are
trying to avoid.
1527
01:05:15,868 --> 01:05:20,003
And if you're trying to avoid
reality, how can you face it?

RIVERS:
I've had a lot of things
1529
01:05:23,006 --> 01:05:25,138
that have happened
to me in my life.
1530
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:30,187
Skinheads came in
and burned my house down,
1531
01:05:30,317 --> 01:05:32,624
uh, because
I was interracially married.
1532
01:05:32,754 --> 01:05:35,409
Locked my animals
in a closet on purpose,
1533
01:05:35,540 --> 01:05:38,195
uh, and my house was
burned down to the ground,
1534
01:05:38,325 --> 01:05:41,459
for one reason: because
of the color of my skin.
1535
01:05:41,589 --> 01:05:45,245
JAYLEN BROWN:
There's a lot of stereotypes
around Black men.
1536
01:05:45,376 --> 01:05:47,160
We can't control ourselves.
1537
01:05:47,291 --> 01:05:49,597
We are angry,
aggressive, or violent.
1538
01:05:49,728 --> 01:05:51,904
We don't care about, you know,
1539
01:05:52,035 --> 01:05:54,559
our own kids or our community.
1540
01:05:54,689 --> 01:05:57,301
The most successful
marketing tool ever created
1541
01:05:57,431 --> 01:05:59,346
was to make you fear
Black people
1542
01:05:59,477 --> 01:06:01,522
because that's how you keep
the white supremacy in place,
1543
01:06:01,653 --> 01:06:04,177
and that's how you keep
the economic advancement
1544
01:06:04,308 --> 01:06:06,092
in place
for one group of people.
1545
01:06:06,223 --> 01:06:07,659
RIVERS:
Think about that.
1546
01:06:07,789 --> 01:06:10,444
If you give anybody
a 200-point lead
1547
01:06:10,575 --> 01:06:13,665
to start-- to start the game
and then tell me, okay, guys,
1548
01:06:13,795 --> 01:06:15,319
now the game is gonna be equal,
1549
01:06:15,449 --> 01:06:17,669
well, no,
the game's not gonna be equal.
1550
01:06:17,799 --> 01:06:19,323
They're up 200.

They're gonna be in front,
generational wealth,
1552
01:06:21,847 --> 01:06:24,502
and then generational poverty
is created.
1553
01:06:24,632 --> 01:06:27,374
How can you win?
The game is fixed.
1554
01:06:27,505 --> 01:06:29,550
How can you win the game
that actually still has

that are designed
1556
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:34,729
to make sure you don't win?
1557
01:06:34,860 --> 01:06:38,037
That's why you have to look
at instances like Tulsa.
1558
01:06:38,168 --> 01:06:41,171
These are places where people
built Black economic wealth,
1559
01:06:41,301 --> 01:06:43,782
and they utilized
the marketing plan
1560
01:06:43,912 --> 01:06:48,656
to make you fear
that crazy rapist Black man...
1561
01:06:48,787 --> 01:06:50,528
in order to make sure
1562
01:06:50,658 --> 01:06:52,617
that the economic structure
stayed in place.

KILLER MIKE:
In Greenwood, the neighborhood
in Tulsa, Oklahoma
1565
01:07:00,190 --> 01:07:02,322
that was Black-ran
from top to bottom,
1566
01:07:02,453 --> 01:07:05,499
Black dollars went 36 times
before they left the community.
1567
01:07:05,630 --> 01:07:07,632
That legacy deserves to live.
1568
01:07:07,762 --> 01:07:10,548
And if we don't start
to take money seriously,
1569
01:07:10,678 --> 01:07:12,767
we're going to repeatedly
be denied that.

ANDRE IGUODALA:
The systematic oppression
1571
01:07:15,857 --> 01:07:19,122
has been put in place for us
not to have group economics.
1572
01:07:19,252 --> 01:07:21,994
The African American community
has the, you know,
1573
01:07:22,125 --> 01:07:23,909
most powerful spending dollar.
1574
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,347
You know, we spend the most
money on consumer products, um,
1575
01:07:27,478 --> 01:07:29,262
but if you dive a little deeper,
1576
01:07:29,393 --> 01:07:32,961
we have the least recycled
dollar within our community.
1577
01:07:33,092 --> 01:07:34,876
You know, when you talk about
recycling your money
1578
01:07:35,007 --> 01:07:36,443
within your own community,
1579
01:07:36,574 --> 01:07:38,097
that's what helps
to build proper schools.
1580
01:07:38,228 --> 01:07:40,186
That's what's going to get
people to vote.
1581
01:07:40,317 --> 01:07:42,754
That's what's gonna raise
the value of the properties.
1582
01:07:42,884 --> 01:07:44,930
That's when you talk
about ownership
1583
01:07:45,061 --> 01:07:46,627
and investing in yourself.
1584
01:07:46,758 --> 01:07:48,934
I think what we're really
talking about in this country
1585
01:07:49,065 --> 01:07:50,501
is economic development
of Black people,
1586
01:07:50,631 --> 01:07:51,719
because I've found that--
1587
01:07:51,850 --> 01:07:53,373
Economic development
of all people.
1588
01:07:53,504 --> 01:07:54,592
Well, we're talking about

1589
01:07:54,722 --> 01:07:56,028

01:07:56,159 --> 01:07:57,508
How come you only want
to do it for Black people?

How come you don't want to
do it for white people?

Well, I'll-I'll tell you why.
I'll tell you why.

Huh? How come you won't
do it for everybody?
1594
01:08:01,860 --> 01:08:02,991
How come it's always
Black people?
1595
01:08:03,122 --> 01:08:03,905
Why don't you talk
about all people?
1596
01:08:04,036 --> 01:08:04,818
Can I give you an answer?
1597
01:08:04,950 --> 01:08:06,211
Please.
1598
01:08:06,343 --> 01:08:08,214

on the ideals of freedom

and the practice of slavery.
1600
01:08:09,955 --> 01:08:14,090
And our inability to deal
with that hypocrisy
1601
01:08:14,220 --> 01:08:16,439
is why we saw a Black man

get lynched
on national television
1603
01:08:18,224 --> 01:08:19,834

We got a top secret meeting.

01:08:40,724 --> 01:08:42,814
SMITH: I think that,
if the Milwaukee Bucks
1613
01:08:42,943 --> 01:08:44,684
stood alone,
it would've been absolutely,
1614
01:08:44,816 --> 01:08:46,687
positively disastrous,
but the fact that
1615

they've all come together
collectively, I think,
1616
01:08:49,211 --> 01:08:51,648
speaks profoundly
about what's transpired.

01:08:53,085 --> 01:08:54,695

01:11:18,709 --> 01:11:22,234
And, yeah, LeBron can
take that time off, but can...
1679
01:11:22,365 --> 01:11:24,845
can the 12th person on the bench
afford to take that time off?
1680
01:11:24,976 --> 01:11:27,413
Not only just the players;
we're talking about the staff.
1681
01:11:27,544 --> 01:11:29,067
We're talking
about all these people
1682
01:11:29,197 --> 01:11:30,721
that could be affected.
1683
01:11:30,851 --> 01:11:33,637
Again, uh, we were faced
with this great decision of,
1684
01:11:33,767 --> 01:11:35,552
should we play,
or shouldn't we play?
1685
01:11:35,682 --> 01:11:37,684
Understanding how
each person felt was important,
1686
01:11:37,815 --> 01:11:39,382
and then trying
to figure out, you know,
1687
01:11:39,512 --> 01:11:40,644
where we go from there.
1688
01:11:40,774 --> 01:11:42,210
It was contentious.
1689
01:11:42,341 --> 01:11:44,735
It was respectful.
1690
01:11:44,865 --> 01:11:46,737
I described it
as democracy in action.
1691
01:11:46,867 --> 01:11:50,610
We don't want to be here,
just throwing some T-shirts
1692
01:11:50,741 --> 01:11:52,786
and think that's
getting the job done.
1693
01:11:52,917 --> 01:11:54,701
REPORTER:
These players decided
to make a difference,
1694
01:11:54,832 --> 01:11:57,661
but what are they willing to
give up to make that difference?
1695
01:11:57,791 --> 01:11:59,445
Families argue all the time.
1696
01:11:59,576 --> 01:12:00,925
I mean, everybody's
got a crazy uncle.
1697
01:12:01,055 --> 01:12:02,622
It's no different,
Black or white.
1698
01:12:02,753 --> 01:12:04,407
Families are-are a mess.
1699
01:12:04,537 --> 01:12:06,670
MAN:
You have the opportunity
to make a change
1700
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,194
that you might not
ever get again.
1701
01:12:09,325 --> 01:12:11,457
Don't let it go.
1702
01:12:11,588 --> 01:12:13,329
ROBERTS:
One of our more senior players,
1703
01:12:13,459 --> 01:12:15,809
I love him to death,
and I won't call his name--
1704
01:12:15,940 --> 01:12:17,376
yes, I will, Udonis--
1705
01:12:17,507 --> 01:12:20,901
being very, very, uh... candid.
1706
01:12:21,032 --> 01:12:23,513
It was a lot of over here,
it was a lot of over there,
1707
01:12:23,643 --> 01:12:25,993
it was a lot of back here,
it was a lot of front here.
1708
01:12:26,124 --> 01:12:28,300
It was a lot of whispering,
1709
01:12:28,431 --> 01:12:29,910
crying, whining, complaining.
1710
01:12:30,041 --> 01:12:33,436
And at the end of the day,
if we're not together,
1711
01:12:33,566 --> 01:12:37,091
then what was the point
of coming here?
1712
01:12:37,222 --> 01:12:39,790
Um, what was the point
of any of this?
1713
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,314
I love the fact that
everyone wasn't together.
1714
01:12:42,445 --> 01:12:44,882
There's so many different ways
you can go with this.
1715
01:12:45,012 --> 01:12:47,275
We're trying to find a mess--
like, a singular message.
1716
01:12:47,406 --> 01:12:49,147
KILLER MIKE:
What am I really willing to do?
1717
01:12:49,277 --> 01:12:51,105
Because being willing
to do something means
1718
01:12:51,236 --> 01:12:53,064
I have to plot,
plan, strategize,
1719
01:12:53,194 --> 01:12:54,805
organize, and mobilize.
1720
01:12:54,935 --> 01:12:57,024
And that's what
those players did-- stepped up.
1721
01:12:57,155 --> 01:12:58,852
What is the mission or the goal?
1722
01:12:58,983 --> 01:13:00,201
What actions are we gonna take?
1723
01:13:00,332 --> 01:13:02,073
What are our contingencies?
1724
01:13:02,203 --> 01:13:04,205
SMITH:
Maybe you could go up
on Capitol Hill,
1725
01:13:04,336 --> 01:13:06,991
bring lobbyists with you
1726
01:13:07,121 --> 01:13:09,515
to push for your causes
to be addressed.
1727
01:13:09,646 --> 01:13:11,517
You don't pull that off
if your answer is
1728
01:13:11,648 --> 01:13:13,345
to walk off the basketball court
1729
01:13:13,476 --> 01:13:16,217
and alienate the very people
1730
01:13:16,348 --> 01:13:19,220
that have the power to help you.
1731
01:13:19,351 --> 01:13:21,005
TOBIAS HARRIS:
People will come at you
left and right,
1732
01:13:21,135 --> 01:13:23,007
you do your homework,
you talk about anything,
1733
01:13:23,137 --> 01:13:26,837
'cause at the end of the day,
whatever you say anyway,
1734
01:13:26,967 --> 01:13:29,143
somebody's gonna have
something to say about it.
1735
01:13:29,274 --> 01:13:32,843
REPORTER:
Your reaction, sir,
to the NBA protest yesterday,
1736
01:13:32,973 --> 01:13:35,367
against another shooting
of a Black man by police?
1737
01:13:35,498 --> 01:13:37,891
I think people are
a little tired of the NBA,
1738
01:13:38,022 --> 01:13:40,633
frankly, uh, but I don't know
too much about the protest.
1739
01:13:40,764 --> 01:13:42,548
But I know their ratings
have been very bad,
1740
01:13:42,679 --> 01:13:44,376
and that's too--
that's unfortunate.
1741
01:13:44,507 --> 01:13:46,509
They've become like
a political organization,
1742
01:13:46,639 --> 01:13:48,249
and that's not a good thing.
1743
01:13:48,380 --> 01:13:50,034
I don't think that's
a good thing for sports
1744
01:13:50,164 --> 01:13:51,731
or for the country.
1745
01:13:51,862 --> 01:13:53,211
DEANS:
I'd get the phone calls
1746
01:13:53,341 --> 01:13:56,170
that come into
our general hotline, uh,
1747
01:13:56,301 --> 01:14:00,218
with outraged fans saying
they're burning jerseys, um,
1748
01:14:00,348 --> 01:14:02,002
and never watching
basketball again
1749
01:14:02,133 --> 01:14:03,874
because it's insane
for millionaire players
1750
01:14:04,004 --> 01:14:06,398
to be embracing
a Marxist organization.
1751
01:14:06,529 --> 01:14:08,356
STERLING BROWN:
Sports has always been vocal.
1752
01:14:08,487 --> 01:14:10,489
Now, it might have hit a gap
to where, you know,
1753
01:14:10,620 --> 01:14:12,926
certain generations
or whatever didn't,
1754
01:14:13,057 --> 01:14:15,929
you know, speak up as much
as they, uh, should've.
1755
01:14:16,060 --> 01:14:18,454
But, you know, back in the day
when Kareem was, you know,
1756
01:14:18,584 --> 01:14:20,673
still young, and you seen it
with Muhammad Ali,
1757
01:14:20,804 --> 01:14:22,458
and a lot of guys,
they were vocal
1758
01:14:22,588 --> 01:14:24,416
on these social justice issues
1759
01:14:24,547 --> 01:14:26,853
and, you know, just
the Black everyday life issues.
1760
01:14:26,984 --> 01:14:28,855
[ bell clanging ]
1761
01:14:28,986 --> 01:14:32,163
ANNOUNCER:
Oh, he's down
from that right hand!
1762
01:14:32,293 --> 01:14:34,513
I don't know
if he's gonna make this one.
1763
01:14:34,644 --> 01:14:38,082
MAN:
He used to be named
Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.
1764
01:14:38,212 --> 01:14:40,432
And his business was
prizefighting.
1765
01:14:40,563 --> 01:14:41,955
As a fighter, he became,
in my opinion
1766
01:14:42,086 --> 01:14:43,217
and certainly in his own,
1767
01:14:43,348 --> 01:14:45,219
the greatest.
1768
01:14:45,350 --> 01:14:48,614
At the age of 25 now, he
calls himself Muhammad Ali,
1769
01:14:48,745 --> 01:14:50,398
and he's unemployed
as a fighter.
1770
01:14:50,529 --> 01:14:52,226
His title is gone,
ripped away by various
1771
01:14:52,357 --> 01:14:55,229
boxing commissions,
in the name of patriotism.
1772
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:59,799
There have been
many questions put to me
1773
01:14:59,930 --> 01:15:03,977
why I refuse to be inducted
1774
01:15:04,108 --> 01:15:07,459
into the United States Army.
1775
01:15:07,590 --> 01:15:09,505
He lost the sport he loved
to keep fighting
1776
01:15:09,635 --> 01:15:11,463
for not just himself
but fighting
1777
01:15:11,594 --> 01:15:13,117
for the people
who don't have voices.
1778
01:15:13,247 --> 01:15:14,684
When one man of popularity
1779
01:15:14,814 --> 01:15:16,729
can let the world know
the problem,
1780
01:15:16,860 --> 01:15:18,949
he can-- he might lose
a few dollars himself
1781
01:15:19,079 --> 01:15:20,951
telling the truth,
might lose his life,
1782
01:15:21,081 --> 01:15:22,866
but he's helping millions.
1783
01:15:22,996 --> 01:15:24,824
But if I kept my mouth shut
just because
1784
01:15:24,955 --> 01:15:27,305
I can make millions, and then
this ain't doing nothing,
1785
01:15:27,435 --> 01:15:29,220
so I just love the freedom
and the flesh and blood
1786
01:15:29,350 --> 01:15:31,178
of my people
more so than I do the money.
1787
01:15:33,093 --> 01:15:35,661
IGUODALA:
What'd they do to him?
Shut off his voice,
1788
01:15:35,792 --> 01:15:37,620
and they've been telling us
to shut up and-- and dribble
1789
01:15:37,750 --> 01:15:39,447
because they don't want
to hear us talk.

the fact that
1791

people who are not on your side

1792
01:15:43,756 --> 01:15:45,062
and are looking to compromise
everything you bring
1793
01:15:45,192 --> 01:15:46,498
to the table
look at things that way.
1794
01:15:46,629 --> 01:15:48,282
They looked at it as players
1795
01:15:48,413 --> 01:15:50,067
not minding their business.

Shut up and dribble.

You won't even stand up
for me in America
1802
01:16:05,125 --> 01:16:06,953
for my religious beliefs,
and you want me
1803

to go somewhere and fight,
but you won't even
1804
01:16:08,999 --> 01:16:10,653

1816
01:16:35,329 --> 01:16:37,027
from things like politics,
1817
01:16:37,157 --> 01:16:39,507
so why would you throw it
in the face of viewers?

01:39:09,378 --> 01:39:10,988
it's harder to pinpoint
2348
01:39:11,119 --> 01:39:13,425
exactly where all
this energy is coming from.
2349
01:39:13,556 --> 01:39:16,646
And I think there's
some brilliance behind that.
2350
01:39:18,082 --> 01:39:20,171
RIVERS:
We had some strong leaders
through our generations,
2351
01:39:20,302 --> 01:39:24,523
but it was only the best players
that had a microphone.
2352
01:39:24,654 --> 01:39:27,439
Now, all the players have
a microphone,
2353
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,919
and they're using it.
2354
01:39:29,050 --> 01:39:30,442
-No justice!
-CROWD: No peace!
2355
01:39:30,573 --> 01:39:32,488
-No justice!
-No peace!
2356
01:39:32,618 --> 01:39:35,708
THYBULLE: I think it shook
a lot of people's idea
2357
01:39:35,839 --> 01:39:37,841
of what the NBA was,
2358
01:39:37,972 --> 01:39:40,061
what, like, entertainers are,
what athletes are.
2359
01:39:40,191 --> 01:39:43,586
And I think it gave us
a better sense of...
2360
01:39:43,716 --> 01:39:46,458
what we are capable of when
we all kinda come together.
2361
01:39:48,112 --> 01:39:50,245
McGEE:
Yeah, we're in competition
once we cross those lines
2362
01:39:50,375 --> 01:39:52,029
and we get on the court.
2363
01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:53,770
But just as brothers,
we all came together
2364
01:39:53,900 --> 01:39:57,426
and-and really focused on
just having each other's backs.
2365
01:39:57,556 --> 01:39:59,341
I'm just glad
I got to be a part of it
2366
01:39:59,471 --> 01:40:01,299
in at least a minuscule way.

I had to speak up at the time.

Really, that's that.

I'm not, you know,
a revolutionary

01:40:06,565 --> 01:40:08,002
or nothing like that,
but I am a voice
2371

that's where I come from.

PAUL:
I have to try to be
a part of the change.

Even though, if I don't
get an opportunity
2374
01:40:15,487 --> 01:40:18,360
to see it fully,
then my kids understand it.
2375
01:40:19,404 --> 01:40:21,015

Sports is important in America
2378

for the same reason that sport
is important in the world.
2379
01:40:42,079 --> 01:40:44,734
It does bring people together.
2380

You know, you're in the stadium,
2381
01:40:46,692 --> 01:40:48,520
and it doesn't matter
what the person next to you
2382
01:40:48,651 --> 01:40:51,741
does for a living, what the
person next to you's race is,
2383
01:40:51,871 --> 01:40:54,004
you're all cheering
on the same side.
2384
01:40:58,878 --> 01:41:00,402
But that's a superficial unity.
2385
01:41:01,881 --> 01:41:04,623
It is not enough to sit here
and cheer together.
2386
01:41:04,754 --> 01:41:06,799
Are we gonna go
out of the stadium
2387
01:41:06,930 --> 01:41:09,193
