Andrew Schulz argues that NBA players should view basketball as their job and that they can advocate for social justice without necessarily needing to shut down the season.

“I didn't even look at it from that angle I my take on this situation is I don't think the NBA would be a discretion at all I think that the NBA would help highlight what's going on out there in the streets even more”

Charlamagne tha God believes that NBA players should leverage the billionaires who own the teams to demand specific social and political changes rather than just playing the season.

“do not start the season without getting something out of it 35 NBA teams so get something out of it you got leverage you got these billionaires begging you to play basketball you better get something out of that more than just donating money”
