VIDEO: NBA’s ‘Barrier Breakers’ Spot In Honor Of MLK
Martin Luther King Jr.’s impact also resonates with the sports world.
The NBA does a fantastic job with their tributes, and as usual, they take the time to commemorate MLK Day with this special spot that will run all day.
‘Breaking Barriers’ is a minute-long reel showing the many generations, colors, and faces of the NBA throughout it’s tenure. Meanwhile MLK’s “I Have A Dream” speech plays in the background as you see such fitting footage of the diversity of the NBA. Features vary from Bill Russell to Jason Collins to Dirk Nowitzki to Steve Nash to Pau Gasol to Serge Ibaka and more.
The legacy of MLK is boundless. The NBA will surely take time to acknowledge Dr. King throughout the day as 12 games are slated to begin at 2 PM EST.
