You can watch the video from You Tube below.
Players and coaches from the Lakers and Clippers made their presence felt to communities around the US and to all supporters of the Black Lives Matter Movement as they all knelt on one knee during the singing of the National Anthem by the The Compton Kidz Club.
These visual signs of protest were brought about by the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officer. Aside from players kneeling at during the national anther, social justice messages can also be read at the back of their jerseys.
Hopefully, beyond the basketball court, these players would make a stronger presence on the streets, side by side, with ordinary people in support of Black Lives Matter.
