I have a lot of respect for George Hill, Donovan Mitchell, & LeBron James sharing their raw emotions concerning Jacob Blake and social injustice in America.
I’m sure a lot of their teammates share their sentiments, but it’s great to see that Hill, Mitchell, & James took it upon themselves to use their platform to address the issue.
We send our prayers and well wishes to Jacob Blake and his family, and we encourage everyone to VOTE in November.
