8.31.2020: The Bucks move on and make history with act of protest
Aug 31, 2020, 10:00 AM
Matt Velazquez and JR Radcliffe look back at Orlando, look ahead to Miami and discuss the Milwaukee Bucks' historic act of protest.
The Bucks took care of the Orlando Magic with a convincing Game 5 win, but the real story was the team sitting out its scheduled game Wednesday, a maneuver that ignited a wave of mini strikes for social justice around the sports world. Bucks beat reporter Matt Velazquez and host JR Radcliffe look back at the Orlando series (Marvin Williams!) and again preview what's to come with Miami (14:00). Then, Matt ruminates on how history will remember Milwaukee's decision to sit out Game 5 (26:45), and discusses, among other aspects, LeBron James' reported reaction (35:30). Oh yeah, and Giannis won Defensive Player of the Year...by a lot (48:15).
