“I’m going to tell the story of why I chose to stand, I hope it inspires others to do the same”: Orlando Magic forward, Jonathan Issac announces the release of his book that explains his stance on the BLM movement

Jonathan Issac of the Orlando Magic tells us why he chose to stand for the National anthem during the BLM movement in his book.

The whole United States, in some way, involved itself in the Black Lives Movement after George Floyd’s brutal murder by a policeman in 2020. NBA players were not far behind in showing their anger against racism throughout the nation.

While most players chose to show it by kneeling during the National anthem before the game, some decided not to follow that way, having their own reasons. Orlando Magic’s Jonathan Issac was one among a few of them. And now the former FSU forward who hasn’t seen any basketball action since January of last year will explain his stand on the BLM movement.
