Martin Luther King Day, 2014. We are here today, in a place of unparalleled, yet obviously still incomplete, racial harmony in our country. But as crazy as it sounds, much of the credit for the progress that has been made, has to go to the game of basketball. For years the NBA has made the most of this special holiday and with good reason. Throughout history, basketball has been a huge proponent of highlighting the long process of positive integration among different races in our country, and the future hope to break down barriers among racial stereotypes. It's a crazy world for sure, but all we can do is our best to make sure that it's as controlled as we can make it. And sports once again, gives us a platform to do that. Regardless of upbringing or nationality the best will out. We learn this over and over.
Therefore one of the most obvious proponents of racial equality comes with the presentation of NBA basketball. The game provides for many, on television and otherwise, and all of them deserve it. At some point they've earned their place amongst the world's greatest game.
