NBA Gives Award To Montrezl Harrell, Who Called Opponent A “B*tch Ass White Boy” Days Ago

The NBA has undoubtedly been in the spotlight of the social justice battle currently taking place across the country.

Most recently, the NBA made news when it cancelled a slate of playoff games due to players boycotting and protesting in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, WI. 

And in addition to painting “Black Lives Matter” across all NBA courts…

and the National Basketball Coaches Association, in conjunction with the Obama Foundation and the Equal Justice Initiative, forming Coaches for Racial Justice…

He has also been active in helping the LA Clippers advance through the playoffs, where they hope to bring in their first title in franchise history. 

In fairness, Doncic later said he had no problems with the comment and trash talk is generally part of any professional sport. 

But bringing race into the equation had many thinking: what would have happened if a white person had referred to a person of color in such a way while on the court.

Would it be written off as simply trash talk?

Would they be receiving awards from the NBA?
