it's 1 year since Game 6 of jazz-nuggets, which means it's one year since the interview Jamal Murray gave afterwards, from the 1st game played after the wildcat strike.

i don't really have anything more to add, other than to say I hope that the actions the players took and the messages and vulnerability they expressed are always honoured and validated.

#like this year w all the violence from fans players had to endure #is 1 more example of the level of vulnerability these people are expected to just... live with #and you keep asking young black athletes to tolerate the abuses that come from ''fans''#specifically bc theyre black #anyway i also think a lot about how mal became a media favourite after this and specifically bc of this #(see the athletic article after his ACL tear)#and how weird i feel that the media talked about his ~authenticity~#but Chris Paul was like #did you see that? that happened bc of how much you're asking us to shoulder #mal #nba #jamal murray
