Live the Message: Pelicans players honor legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. | New Orleans Pelicans

Martin Luther King day is extremely important as a black leader of our team a black coach I’m living his dream his dream was for us to have equal opportunities in America and um I think it’s important to continue to celebrate his life and Legacy I think one of the

Most influential people ever uh and he did it there in a time where it was a lot harsher for African-Americans than it is now and he still had the impact he had he he’s he’s such an inspiration to not only uh the minority folks but everybody

Um the way he uh carried himself and the way he wanted better for other people I think that we’ve you know made a good push uh within the past few years uh but there thr a long ways to go it’s important to call attention to Injustice because everyone deserves the same equal

Opportunity right there’s there are there are certain groups of people in this country that aren’t given the same opportunities as others and and you know just as Dr King said it it it exposing the Injustice can cause some tension and um you know without tension there’s no

Growth right so um sometimes we need to have those uncomfortable uh conversations to to bring out the best of us and and uh you know I think it’s important to remember that saying something’s wrong doesn’t mean that the system is broken it means that we can better it oh Freedom freedom for me

New Orleans Pelicans players and coaches reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and how they carry his message in their daily lives.
