Jordan Brand Athletes Reflect On The Meaning Of MLK Jr Day

Today’s celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day not only honors the accomplishments of the late civil rights leader, but also serves occasion for Jordan Brand’s NBA athletes to show their respect both on and off the court.

Victor Oladipo, Andre Drummond, Kemba Walker, Jared Sullinger, and Otto Porter Jr. are among the Jumpman family members to relate their thoughts on MLK, shared this afternoon:

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that,” is one of my favorites Dr. King quotes. Dr. King is a hero of mine and it is truly an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to play for the league on MLK Day. – Victor Oladipo
