In addition to the Lakers, fans are also concerned about the performance of the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs, which lacked Aldridge, were able to continue the miracle of reaching the playoffs for 22 consecutive seasons became the focus of fans.
As the Spurs approached the warm-up game, head coach Gregg Popovich gave a phone interview to Spurs reporters.

While many stars were on one knee to protest, the NFL's super quarterback Drew Brees criticized the one-knee move, which attracted James's attention.
James criticized Brees's position, and the influence of the elder Zhan was there, and Brees became the focus of the storm of public opinion, and even met with death threats.
At this time, Laura Ingraham stepped forward, and she warned James that as a black person in the NBA, you should shut up and dribble!
And this isn't the first time Ingraham has spoken wildly. Two years ago, because James and Durant criticized Trump, Ingraham went straight to the punch, reprimanding James and Durant: You should "shut up and dribble"!
In past shows, as a white woman, Ingraham also said that as an American, the opinions of white athletes should be respected, but the opinions of black athletes are best ignored.

Two years later, when Ingraham reprimanded James again, Popovich, a white man, stepped forward and criticized Ingraham for being uncultured and ignorant.
Popovich said: "The NBA is mostly made up of African Americans, so I know more about what they're going through. Hopefully, whites will receive more education about the history of social injustice in the United States and understand the situation of African Americans! ”
At the same time, Popovich said that the rematch is a good opportunity for NBA players and coaches to use this platform to speak out bravely.
Seeing Popovich's attitude, many Lakers fans have said: From this point, stand up for you, stand up spurs, I hope you take the last train of the playoffs!
