Kyrie Irving, Dwight Howard, and Carmelo Anthony have strongly opposed the restart and think that the season will distract the American Black Community from the ongoing fight against the racial injustice in America. They feel that uniting the nation is far more important than playing Basketball, but they seem to be in minority.
Lakers star LeBron James has cleared that he can inspire the society for the good chance they are aiming with Basketball at his hand. Austin Rivers, Danny Green and Kyle Kuzma share the same opinion.
Patrick Beverley on the other hand tweeted out a very sarcastic comment last night, stating that no matter what the other players think, the NBA would do whatever LeBron James deems fit.
