Lakers’ Danny Green says NBA stars can create more social justice change by playing

Green has replied to the stances of teammates Avery Bradley and Dwight Howard.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Danny Green believes that players will be able to create more change by going into the bubble and playing than by choosing to stay away.

“I think we can use the platform to our advantage and enhance it,” Green said in an interview with Caron Butler on the NBA’s Twitter account in honor of Juneteenth. “I mean, I see both sides. But I think we can easily, and I think with social media and all the platforms we have and people watching us they’re going to be tuning in even more when we’re down there. They’re trying to get horse games on Zoom. They’re trying to follow everybody’s content, everybody’s Zoom, everybody’s podcast, everybody’s story and seeing who is doing what. When you have games that are going on, they don’t have to do that. They can just watch TV and see exactly what you’re talking about, see exactly what your passions are. There are going to be cameras all over Orlando, so they can see exactly what we want and what we’re trying to do. So I think it’s an advantage to us to get down there and use that platform to keep the movement alive. But either way we can take a stand, and that will speak volumes as well, but I don’t think we have a big enough platform”.
