ORLANDO, Fla. When finally his anger shoot, LeBron James made a quick decision of getting up and then leaving the meeting before it was over. Lakers’ teammates also joined him. 

What happened behind the scene?

It was Wednesday night and there had been one hour of them enjoying the party in a ballroom at a hotel convention center on Disney World’s property. They were discussing the fallout from the Milwaukee Bucks skipping that afternoon’s game in protest of Jacob Blake being shot. 

Now, their plot against the Portland Trail Blazers and another between Houston and Oklahoma City had been delayed.  Though there was no sound plan for what to do ahead. What was the intension of just boycotting one game and then returning to play?

James decided to stop the season, but some other people still wanted continuum!

James, who is a man of pride in his well-planned activism, had sufficed with the indecision. He was determined to stop the season. But still, there were persons on his team, who wanted to keep playing. They obviously need it to continue the season to secure their future.   

During Morning on Thursday, several Lakers were in agreement and wanted to finish the season. 

A person having knowledge of the meeting uttered, “LeBron’s emotions got the best of him yesterday and today he calmed down. He talked to a lot of different people. Yeah, he altered his mind about playing but he was always for what everyone else wanted to do, whatever the majority was. It wasn’t until what Milwaukee had decided to that kind of sent him over.” 

Bucks didn’t tell anybody before about their boycotting the GAME 5!

The Bucks didn’t inform anyone before the game that they had decided to not play game5 of their first-round playoff series against the Orlando Magic. 

This decision was out just before the game about to start after some of them were in full uniform. This thing caught the magic and all other teams off guard. 

Bucks reported to a group of media reporters!

After three hours of a decision at the arena, the Bucks appeared together behind a door with a temporary sign bearing the image of deer. In cold, while standing in the concrete hallway, they talked to a group of 10 reporters to explain why they couldn’t focus on the game (Basketball). 

The Bucks didn’t answer many questions, including one shouted as they went away:

“Do you guys intend to finish the season?”   

The Bucks were tussling more hurriedly with what had been on many players’ minds before they reached Orlando. 

Many players were concerned about the retrieval of the season and police brutality!

Few weeks before the team entered the bubble, many players showed concerns about restarting the season. Some players were worried about the fact that potential buildings around the country by protests against racism and police brutality would dwindle down. 

On the 25th of May, a Minneapolis police officer knelt on the neck of George Floyd for about nine minutes. This grip around his neck led to his death. The incident was recorded in a video and protest embarked around the country after that. 

The death of George Floyd’s came at a time when two other defenseless Black People “Ahmad Arbery in Georgia and Breonna Taylor in Kentucky were killed.
