NBA Players urge fans to vote


It is no surprise to anyone that American icons and especially sport stars have always taken the initiative to let people known about their right that could bring revolutionary changes. Be it the occasion of the elections or perhaps the Black Lives Matter Movement. The NBA players in particular have a lot of influence. Many NBA Superstars like Stephen Curry, Carmelo Anthony, Shaq etc. have urged people to go out and vote.
It is not always the case, that influencers such as this encourage people to bring about a change. However, it is not just the players, but also each and every team has shared a message of their social media handle encouraging people to vote. In the race to become the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump and Joe Biden are the chosen candidates. The votes have been casted throughout the States and now what is awaited is the resulted, with obvious delays.
NBA Teams and Players encourage Americans to vote
Elections are the only way to change the current catastrophic situations and occurrences happening in the States. Having said that elections are not the only time when these NBA stars and franchises have taken a stand. Even when circumstances got out of hand during the Black Lives Matter movement, several players like Lebron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo etc came out on the street to stand for and with the people. Several players also decided to boycott a matchday to justify the injustices after the restart of the 2019-20 season.
To see NBA and its key members influencing people in such a manner, is always commendable. LeBron James, who started the More Than A Vote campaign this summer was very active in encouraging folks to head to the polls and vote, while also passing along various resources on social media to help voters (and also fight against voter suppression).
Others from around the league posted about their visit to the polls with a number of players voting for the first time after the push internally to get more players registered.
