Programming note: With the NBA return on July 31 now official, we will be taking a brief summer break from now until the first week of August. We will run lists from the first week of August through the second week of October to coincide with the conclusion of the '19-'20 season and the 2020 NBA Draft. We will take another brief break from mid-October to early December, at which point we'll return with the 2020 edition of our top 500 players of all-time, then continue on in January with regularly scheduled programming.

As protests expand across the U.S. and the world, and the Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police movements gain steam, we take a look at several NBA players that are especially notable for their commitment to social justice and activism.
