The Milwaukee Bucks made history on Wednesday when the team decided not to take the court for their playoff game against the Orlando Magic, instead they chose to boycott the game in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
This was an incredibly powerful decision by the Bucks, a move that should likely lead other teams making the decision to boycott their upcoming playoff games in Orlando.
LeBron James and the Lakers are scheduled to play the Trail Blazers tonight in Game 5 of their series. As of right now that game is still going on but I have to think we won’t see any basketball today.
Update: All three NBA games Wednesday have been postponed.
LeBron expressed his feelings after the Bucks made their decision as he tweeted his anger towards the police brutality that continues in our country. There’s a bad word here, and this bad word belongs to be in here:
FUCK THIS MAN!!!! WE DEMAND CHANGE. SICK OF IT

What an incredibly historic moment in sports that we are witnessing right now.
Good for the Bucks.
