With the remaining teams inside the bubble opting to boycott what looks like the remainder of the playoffs, the big question on most people's minds is this: what now? Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has provided his insight on the same, as he detailed what he believes to be the key next steps they should do moving forward.
Green went on a tirade on Twitter, starting with his thoughts on the issue of whether or not sports can wait.

Draymond Green reiterated his full support for the decision to boycott the games but also sent out a stern reminder that the fight should not stop there.
I stand with my brothers in the bubble continuing to stand for what’s right and fight the oppression of Black People. But I do hope that they understand, that we too have a job to do, which is continue building that very platform that we are using to speak for OUR PEOPLE!

According to the former All-Star forward, now is the perfect time to act.
Making headlines is great. The attention has been grabbed. Now the next steps are more important now than ever. But it’s not just athletes, the next steps from the black community as an entirety. The next steps from the White community that supports being apart of the change…

that blacks has been suffering from for hundreds of years! Now is that time. Platforms has been used to get the attention that we all has so desperately wanted for a long time. Now the way we move as a unit is critical!

Trusting each other, supporting each other! Pushing those narratives and putting in action all that we can for those people that can’t put it in action. Use the platform for them. Be very tactical and super specific of everything we want and desperately need!

Those are some very insightful inputs from Green, and kudos to him for not only speaking out about the issues at hand but more importantly, attempting to provide a solution to what continues to be a plague on the nation.
Green and the Warriors were not invited to the bubble due to the team's poor performance prior to the hiatus. Nonetheless, it would be safe to assume that the Warriors would have probably also voted to join in on the boycott.
Aside from Green, the Dubs have a number of prominent personalities on their side that have been very vocal about their stance against systemic racism with Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha being at the forefront of the movement. This would have been an opportunity for them to practice what they preach, and more likely than not, they would have taken the chance.
