Stephon Leary: 我支持任何为正义发声的人，但更希望看到实际行动，而不是空谈。球员们应该专注于解决问题的根本原因，例如参与投票、与执法部门和政治人物沟通等，而不是停止比赛。我们需要在各个层面提升少数族裔的代表性，包括NBA管理层和教练席。重要的是为非洲裔美国人和少数民族提供更多机会，而不是仅仅关注种族问题本身。在争取机会时，我们需要团结一致，做好准备，并抓住机会。我的成长经历让我明白，改变居住环境（邮政编码）会改变思维方式，体育改变了我的生活，但人生的意义远不止于此。我的人生目标是帮助他人，激励他人，成为他人的导师。 Rod Watson: 我赞同球员采取立场，但也认为需要采取实际行动，例如增加少数族裔在NBA管理层的代表性。NBA教练中缺乏黑人教练的代表性，这与球员构成比例不符，球员与教练之间的认同感对成功至关重要。成功的运动员应该回馈社区，为年轻人树立榜样，体育可以成为通往其他机会的平台，但不应是唯一途径。Stephon Leary 的经历让我明白，人生的意义在于帮助他人，激励他人，实现自身价值。
