When the NBA restarts, the league will definitely make sure to remind viewers that ‘Black Lives Matter.’

According to reports, the NBA will paint ‘Black Lives Matter’ on NBA courts when the action tips off at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports at Walt Disney World in Orlando.

The NBA’s players have been very outspoken following the death of George Floyd while he was in police custody. Some players led by Kyrie Irving and Avery Bradley were worried that playing basketball would be a distraction to fight for social justice. Viewers can expect to see ‘Black Lives Matter’  “inside the sidelines of all three arenas at Disney World in Orlando, ESPN reported Monday.”

USA Today further reports ‘Black Lives Matter’ will be on two sides of each court, in front of the broadcast booth and scorer’s table. According to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, the goal of the league restarting is to “help promote social justice and combat systemic racism.”

This news comes on the heels of reports that the NBA and National Basketball Players Association will allow players to replace their names with social justice messaging on the back of their jerseys.

The NBA is gearing up to restart on July 30, barring any significant setbacks primarily due to substantial numbers of players testing positive for COVID-19.

So we reimagined what a dating should be.

In his weekly column, Barcelona legend Rivaldo says Quique Setien needs more time before being judged and it’s unfair to compare Antoine Griezmann with Philippe Coutinho.
Here’s what the Brazilian had to say:
“Barcelona beat Leganes 2-0 last night but they didn’t produce a great performance and many are still skeptical about Quique Setien’s new system. I think it’s difficult to pass judgment after just two matches post-lockdown.
“We need to wait a few more weeks to see how the team evolves. It’s understandable that their rhythm and intensity isn’t at its peak yet as they were a lot of time without playing or training. There are players returning from injuries and others still looking to be fit, so we must give them some more time before deciding if Setien’s system can truly work in the long run.
“At the moment, and while the quality of play is not yet at his best, the most important thing is for Barcelona to continue grabbing wins, to keep the leadership of La Liga ahead of Real Madrid and put pressure on them.”
Griezmann can shed ‘new Coutinho’ tag with improved performances
“Barça have won both their games since the restart, with Antoine Griezmann as a starter, but he continues to be far from the player he was at Atletico Madrid and some are wondering if he may become a ‘new Coutinho’ at Barcelona.
“It’s a harsh to start making those comparisons, but it’s up to the player to prove it on the pitch. The lack of goals is demotivating and damages Griezmann’s confidence, so I believe it’s important for Lionel Messi to help him. Messi could, for example, let Griezmann take penalties when Barcelona are winning comfortably — just to get the Frenchman scoring — just like he did with Luis Suárez in the past.”

Captain of Barcelona, Lionel Messi on Saturday night set a new record following his side’s La Liga 4-0 win against Mallorca.
Barcelona went in front in the second minute of play after Arturo Vidal headed home Jordi Alba’s cross.
Martin Braithwaite doubled the Catalans advantage with eight minutes left to half time.
Alba made it three late in the second half before Messi rounded off scoring on an impressive night for Quique Setién’ side at the Visit Mallorca Estadi.
However, Messi’s Goal against Mallorca means the Argentine captain is now the only player to score 20 or more goals in the La Liga in twelve consecutive seasons, according to Goal.
The 32-year-old also saw his league assist tally this season rise to 14, making him both the top scorer and top assist provider in Spain’s top-flight league so far this term.

Messi will now hope to lead Barca to victory when they host Leganes on Tuesday in their next fixture.
The victory against Mallorca means Blaugrana are now five points clear of Real Madrid.
