While we are busy stopping the sport following the closure, the US is busy with much more serious incidents: Donald Trump’s supporters broke into Congress tonight (Wednesday) while voting for Joe Biden’s victory and began a confrontation with security forces. Anomalies began to flood the networks.
In the midst of all the chaos, quite a few NBA players began to react to the ugly events. Maja Morant (“It’s Disturbed”), through Trey Young (“sad we knew it was coming”) to Dwayne Wade (“Imagine what would have happened if they were black”). Here are the best tweets >>

Black people get pulled over and don’t make it out alive. We can not sleep in our own beds without being killed. We can not jog without being killed. We can not walk down the street with our hoodies up without being killed but they can do this ??? https://t.co/j59OMKw4LO
