“I drove for 15 hours to be in Georgia, explained the player, born in this state, in a video posted on Instagram. It is a peaceful demonstration. Being a celebrity, an NBA player, doesn’t stop me from taking part in conversations. First of all, I am a black man and a member of this community. We want to shed light on certain injustices that we have seen. This is not normal. Our voices must be heard. I’m 23, I don’t know all the answers, but I feel what everyone is feeling. “
