For the Warriors and the Celtics, it was an honor to play on the King holiday. “I always love playing on MLK Day,” Warriors head coach and former NBA guard Steve Kerr said. “It’s a very significant day for all Americans and I think the NBA has really adopted it as part of our culture and I’m very proud of that.” Said Celtics forward Jaylen Brown: “There are so many people that have come before us that sacrificed so much to push society forward, push equality forward. To be able to use my platform to play basketball and do what I got to do, it is the least I can do — just being able to praise those people who came before, who sacrificed so much of their lives, livelihood and family. “As long as I’m here, I’m going to continue to honor them for that because we still have a long way to go. But we’re thankful and grateful for the sacrifices they’ve made.”
