On Wednesday, after the players strike led to the postponement of three NBA games, Inside the NBA still aired on TNT as scheduled.

While Kenny Smith elected to sit out the show in solidarity with the players, the rest of the crew held a conversation about the protest. That included those in Atlanta (Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, and Shaquille O’Neal) as well as the TNT staff on the ground in the bubble, namely Chris Webber and Stan Van Gundy.

Webber gave just about the most moving statement I have ever heard from him about being Black, the act of protest, and what comes next. He was emotional throughout, and it was near impossible to watch and not feel the same way.

Here is the video of Webber’s remarks, as well as a transcript of what he said. He explains it better than any of us can.

The NBA postseason will likely resume this weekend after players and coaches had meetings Wednesday and Thursday to discuss how to proceed.
