Oscar Robertson, NBA Hall of Famer, Courtesy NBA Radio's MLK Day Special

Oscar is pleased to see the NBA continue to provide a platform to discuss the life of MLK. Oscar was the head of the players association at the time of the assassination. He looks back at the day of the assassination and having to play a game that night. In those days, players didn't have the power they do today. What happened to MLK could've happened to anyone. The history of HBCUs are discussed and what MLK would think today if he saw the platform the NBA provides.

Oscar Robertson's fingerprints are all over pivotal and key moments in time. It should be included in his legacy. Has Deion Sanders opened the door for other NFL greats to look to HBCU to get their coaching start? The guys discuss the story that Jerry Rice has thought about coaching at an HBCU. NBA Social Justice Coalition is out working hard for voting rights. The target now is the lawmakers to get them to pass legislation to protect those rights. The NBA opened 23 arenas to help increase voting participation, so this isn't new for the NBA to be involved in.
