Although Bucks guard Kyle Korver was not one of the initiators of that boycott, he couldn’t help but feel emotional when reliving the events that led to that decision.</p><blockquote>“I just sat there with tears running down my face,” Korver recalled the exact moment when his team decided to forego the important game, pe<a href="https://www.si.com/nba/2020/10/27/kyle-korver-details-bucks-boycott-nba-bubble" rel="noopener noreferrer">r Sports Illustrated’s Michael Shapiro</a>. “And I’m looking at my jersey that says Black Lives Matter, and I’m like, ‘what are we doing?'”“One teammate, George Hill decided he wasn’t going to play. …We all just sat there and were like, ‘we’re all with you.'”</blockquote><p>While Korver is just one of the few white players in Milwaukee’s roster, the 39-year-old shooter threw his complete support behind the Black Lives Matter movement to finally put an end to racial injustice and police brutality.</p><blockquote>“It’s always interesting for me as a white man in these spaces. How do I help as a white man? What do I say as a white man in this space?” Korver added. “And you know what you do? You stand with the marginalized. And when you can you amplify their voice, and you listen to their thoughts, and you listen to their ideas, and then you find your way to help out”.</blockquote><p>The Bucks decision to voluntarily get an L in their playoff game came just a day after African-American civilian Jacob Blake was shot by police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin — which just so happened to be eerily close to the team’s home floor at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Given the entire squad was miles away inside the bubble at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, the Bucks players felt they need to send a strong message by refusing to play.</p><p>This, of course, set the course for a domino effect that reverberated around the entire league. All the scheduled playoff games that day were postponed. The 2019-20 campaign was also put in jeopardy of being cancelled for the second time after the effects of the pandemic.</p><p>The season only managed to resume only after the league and the NBPA agreed to terms following several closed-door meetings.</p><p>Kyle Korver, on the other hand, did not have a productive season in his 17th year in the league, notching just 6.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 58 games. Still, the one-time All-Star provided a valuable contributions far bigger than basketball.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The first three guys have carved out superstar careers. As for Korver? He is more known as a specialist and never the main guy. But being in the company of Hall of Fame shooters only goes to show that he’s pretty special as well.</p><p>He is now an unrestricted free agent after playing out his one-year veteran minimum deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. He only averaged 16.6 minutes, the least since his rookie season in 2003-2004, and put up 6.7 points and 2.1 rebounds. He is already 39 years old and has clearly slowed down. Korver, however, remains as one of the biggest outside threats in the NBA, and with the game stretching more and more to the three-point area, Kyle Korver can still be an asset to any team.</p><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kyle-Korver-has-hilarious-response-to-how-he-stayed-in-shape-during-hiatus.jpg"></figure><p>Korver <a href="https://behindthebuckpass.com/2020/10/09/milwaukee-bucks-to-buy-sell-kyle-korver-free-agency/">said he’d discuss with his family first</a> before deciding on his next step, while the Bucks are on a wait-and-see approach. But if he decides to leave, here are three ideal destinations for the sweet-sniping forward.</p><h2><b>New York Knicks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/thib.jpg"></figure><p>If Korver doesn’t mind spending his farewell years with a losing record, an easy pick would be the Knicks, who were a disaster from the three-point line this season. They averaged a league-worst 9.6 makes from deep at an anemic 33.7 percent shooting. While Korver may not dramatically increase those numbers, he could definitely help. Watching the Knicks miss wide-open three-pointers all season was as painful as watching the last season of Game of Thrones.</p><p>For what it’s worth, the Knicks have able playmakers in Elfrid Payton, Frank Ntilikina, and RJ Barrett. They could set up Korver for outside shots off the bench, something the team has lacked for years now. He could also open the floor more for Julius Randle and Bobby Portis, who have the ability to attack from the inside. If they attract defenders in the post, Kyle Korver would be the perfect outlet. Just imagine the Madison Square Garden going crazy whenever he drains one from long range.</p><p>Joining the Knicks will also reunite Korver with his former coach in Tom Thibodeau. They spent two seasons together in those memorable Chicago Bulls squads that went deep in the NBA Playoffs. Thibodeau gave Korver all the confidence to shoot and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he does the same if they work together again in the Big Apple.</p><h2><b>Denver Nuggets</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/nuggets.jpg"><figcaption>CP</figcaption></figure><p>While the Nuggets played exceptional in this year’s NBA Playoffs, with Jamal Murray having his coming-out party and Nikola Jokic continuing his stellar all-around play, it also became clear that they lacked ample shooters. Gary Harris couldn’t sink a three-point shot to save his life, Michael Porter Jr. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nuggets-rumors-michael-porter-jr-s-trade-status-revealed/">was inconsistent at best</a>, while Jerami Grant, Torrey Craig, and Monte Morris all shot below 33 percent.</p><p>While it could be difficult for Korver to earn major minutes on a deep Nuggets team, his addition will surely bolster the roster nonetheless. He could give a jolt off the bench just by planting himself beyond the arc and waiting for emergency kick-outs or extra passes. Korver has never been a fantastic one-on-one player, so he will just continue the same role he’s done for the last 18 seasons—which safe to say, he’s done pretty well. The Nuggets averaged 27.2 assists this season, so moving the ball around to find spot-up shooters is not an issue.</p><p>The Nuggets only averaged 11.0 three-pointers this season, which is tied for sixth-worst in the NBA. Yet, they still notched the third seed in the stacked Western Conference. It feels like they’re one shooter away from getting over the hump, and an experienced guy like Korver could be that key missing piece.</p><h2><b>Los Angeles Lakers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ad2-3.jpg"><figcaption>ClutchPoints</figcaption></figure><p>Why not? Korver is still hoping to win his first NBA title before he rides off into the sunset. So why not join a team that just won it? The Lakers have a laundry list of free agents and they might not get to re-sign them all. There might be room for the former Creighton standout. Again, he’ll have his work cut out for him finding minutes with fellow outside specialists Danny Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and JR Smith on the roster. But he could still provide a lift, especially when the aforementioned guys are having one of their slumps.</p><p>He would have a field day getting open shots with LeBron James and Anthony Davis attracting defenses like sugar drawing out ants. Korver is familiar with how LBJ operates from their stint together with the Cleveland Cavaliers so transitioning won’t be a problem. If Jared Dudley found a way to contribute to the Purple and Gold, there’s no reason for Korver not to do the same. He’s a better shooter and is an underrated defender.</p><p>Kyle Korver thought he had a good chance of finally winning a ring with the Milwaukee Bucks this season. But they fell short. He got close twice with the Wine and Gold after reaching the NBA Finals. But again, zilch. Joining the Lakers could be last his good chance.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

In the 2009-10 season, Korver shot 53.6 percent from deep, which is the all-time record for the highest percentage from 3-point country.</p><p>Whether Korver continues his stellar NBA career or not, he will surely go down as one of the best pure shooters in history.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bucks veteran Kyle Korver reportedly spoke out to apologize if they had offended anybody with how they executed this move without alerting other teams, to which Boston Celtics youngster Jaylen Brown responded by saying that they did not need to explain themselves.</p><p>The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported on the Bucks veteran’s decision to address the group during the meeting:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sources also say that Kyle Korver apologized for the way the Bucks made the decision not to play without alerting other teams. This element has clearly frustrated teams around the league, and Korver made the choice to address it.</p><p>— Sam Amick (@sam_amick) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/sam_amick/status/1298840981178142726?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 27, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Bucks were the first team to decide not to play on Wednesday, leading to a full-blown strike by all the teams on the schedule. Milwaukee did so without providing prior notice to the other teams, which apparently rubbed some other teams the wrong way.</p><p>Brown came to Korver and the Bucks’ defense, however, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sources: As some in tonight's meeting wanted to hear Bucks' explanation for making an abrupt decision independent of rest of teams to boycott game, Boston's Jaylen Brown essentially said that the Bucks didn't need to explain themselves and he fully supported what they did today.</p><p>— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1298825684794707968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 27, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>It is worth noting that the Jacob Blake shooting on Sunday transpired in Kenosha, Wisconsin, which is just 40 miles away from Milwaukee. This one literally hit home for the Bucks, which is likely one of the primary reasons they decided to act swiftly on this matter.</p><p>While the Bucks have support from the rest of the league for this decision, the issue lies in their failure to advise other teams prior to making their announcement. In hindsight, that might have been the more prudent approach. Then again, with how quickly things have been developing of late, prudence might not be the biggest concern right now.</p><p>–</p><p><i>Follow ClutchPoints on <a href="https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clutchpoints/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a>, and like us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a>.

He has career regular-season averages of 9.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists with the Sixers, Utah Jazz, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks, Cavs and Bucks.</p><p>Korver has had two different stints with the Jazz. He wrote a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/kyle-korver-utah-jazz-nba">powerful letter for The Players’ Tribune</a> last season talking about white privilege after a Jazz fan shouted racist comments at Russell Westbrook during a game in Salt Lake City.</p><p>Down in Orlando, Florida for the bubble games, Korver is wearing <a target="_blank" href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-news-why-kyle-korver-is-wearing-black-lives-matter-on-jersey/">Black Lives Matter</a> on the back of his jersey. The veteran shooting guard decided to wear that statement on the back of his Bucks jersey for a few reasons, per <a target="_blank" href="https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-bucks-forward-kyle-korver-to-wear-black-lives-matter-on-jersey-214231734.html">Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports</a>:</p><blockquote><p>“Milwaukee Bucks sharpshooter Kyle Korver, who penned an essay acknowledging his white privilege in April, has made the decision to wear “Black Lives Matter” on the back of his jersey as his social justice statement, league sources told Yahoo Sports.</p><p>“Korver could choose from 27 other statement options or he could have elected to go with just his name.</p><p>“But Black Lives Matter is what he felt drawn to because of his commitment to be more socially conscious, the state of the world in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death and to be in solidarity with his teammates and people of color, sources said.”</p></blockquote><p>An NBA championship is the last thing Korver needs on his basketball résumé. The 39-year-old could very well win his first title this season, as the Bucks have the best record in the NBA.</p><p>It will be interesting to see if Korver decides to get more tattoos on his body moving forward. Maybe if the Bucks win it all, the California native will get something inked on his body to celebrate the championship.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://clutchpoints.com/every-known-tattoo-on-kyle-korver-body/">Every known tattoo on Kyle Korver’s body</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://clutchpoints.com">ClutchPoints</a>.</p></div>    </body></html>
