Garrett Temple: Thoughts and prayers going out to the Johnson family. BJ was the nicest most engaging person I’ve ever come across in this league. His personality filled a room. He changed my life by giving a skinny kid from LSU a shot when no one else would. Thank you BJ, R.I.P King!!!!!
Brian Lewis: Garrett Temple on whether keeping Vaughn would add consistency to a #Nets team about to face a lot of offseason change: “I’m a big fan of JV…I’m a big fan of him. And I hope to be back here next year as well.” #NBA @Garrett Temple
Alex Schiffer: Garrett Temple, whose an NBPA VP, asked about starting next season in a bubble: “Who knows?” Said there’s a ton uncertain, knows what works and doesn’t and hopes family would be allowed in earlier. Temple’s fiancé is due with their first child in a few weeks.
Garrett Temple saw the benefits of the social justice messages the players have been able to deliver during the bubble, both in getting together like-minded players to push issues and also influences young viewers. “I had no idea the Morris twins are into education reform, nor Kent Bazemore or CJ McCollum,” Temple said. “It’s very big that people are wearing those messages on their jerseys. When people are watching games for the first time, or young kids are watching for the first time to be able to see that Chris Paul believes in equality.
“A 6-year-old kid may ask, ‘What does that mean?’ They see group economics on the back of Anthony Tolliver’s jersey, they may ask what does group economics mean? So subconsciously we’re educating people, opening people’s eyes … to maybe do more research on things they wouldn’t have done had we not had these messages.”
