The Miami Heat released a powerful video on Twitter where players from the team spoke about their disgust with what is going on in America.
From Bam Adebayo to Goran Dragic to Jimmy Butler, all the Heat players in the video want to use their platform to instill change and end racism in America.
Kendrick Nunn: "I'm feeling hurt, tired, fed up."
Kelly Olynyk: "I feel disgusted."
Bam Adebayo: "We should, and I will, always, always tell people that Black Lives Matter. Because they do."
Jimmy Butler: "It's time for change. We will make a change."
Powerful stuff. https://t.co/6muhCtGXYX

Just another reason why the Heat are a first-class organization.
The NBA is mostly made up of African American players. The league's higher-ups understand that many players in the league are very uncomfortable with what is going on in America since policemen continue to kill unarmed black people.
The Heat are among the 22 teams that will be partaking in the “bubble” games in Orlando, Florida. Even though a number of players in the NBA are concerned about resuming the season during the COVID-19 pandemic and the current social climate, the Heat are expected to play barring a sudden cancellation of the season.
Led by Butler and Adebayo, the Heat racked up 41 wins and lost just 24 before the season was suspended in March. Miami has already clinched a playoff spot.
The Heat are in the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference standings and will likely face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the 2020 playoffs.
Miami missed the playoffs in 2018-19, so South Beach fans are looking forward to seeing their favorite basketball team in the postseason again.
