MLK dream was bigger den jus a jersey. I hope they take all jersey sells and donate it to HBCU’s since this is about change and black empowerment 💯🤔

MLK means everything to Atlanta, and his legacy will live on in our hearts for many generations to come.
KEEP RISING, ATL!!

They give global Asian fans of Houston Rockets, Chinese culture uniforms written in Chinese. Black folk get MLK uniforms. These aren't even the first MLK uniforms. Respect to the King but this is unimaginative and safe. How about something representing African American culture as a whole like the Spurs, Rockets, Suns do with Latin culture & the Boston celtics do with Irish culture?
