Miami Heat All-Star big man Bam Adebayo emphasized that NBA players will continue to pressure Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron until the policemen who killed Breonna Taylor are arrested.
During their press conferences with reporters down in Orlando, Florida, numerous NBA players have been calling out Cameron to arrest the cops who shot and killed Taylor in her home in Louisville.
Bam Adebayo's opening statement tonight, "Hold up. Hold on. Before we start this, I just want to say, this interview won't go any further because all my answers will be about Daniel Cameron making a response to us about the injustice for Breonna Taylor and arresting those cops."

Taylor was an emergency medical technician. She was tragically shot eight times by the Louisville Metro Police Department while in her home.
Although one of the officers, Detective Brett Hankinson, was fired from his post, no charges have been filed against any officers in the Taylor case. Sure enough, that doesn't sit right with NBA players since the league is mostly made up of African Americans.
With that said, until the officers who killed Taylor are arrested, African American athletes are going to continue to call out Cameron. Adebayo and the rest of his Heat teammates are no doubt happy that basketball is back. However, the players are also going to use their platform to instill change in America.
One of the faces of the NBA, Brooklyn Nets superstar point guard Kyrie Irving, joined forces with PlayersTV to produce a television program centered around the killing of Taylor. Moreover, it's not just the Heat, Adebayo and NBA players in Orlando who are trying to get justice for Taylor. In fact, the WNBA has been putting pressure on Cameron as well.
