Agreed it hits home for NBA players. They feel uncomfortable playing in bubble while their friends and family are facing social injustices back home. An NBA player will know that while they made it, and they try to pull as many people out of those neighborhoods as they can, they can't get everyone. Some players feel that playing basketball is pointless right now and they need to be home with their families. That's a fine position to take but be prepared to never play again. The players had a long meeting last night and I'm sure many of these issues were discussed. The Lakers and Clippers voted to cancel the season, the others not yet.
The NHL players have none of these problems so boycotting would not make sense. Keep playing and keep talking about these issues and bring awareness to it.
