This is clearly the influence of the GOAT and American Hero Jalen Brunson as he looks to eliminate the French menace just like he did en route to the prestigious NBA Cup. Knicks in 5. For America.

Adam Silver is a terrible commish, but the actual NBA isn't as woke as people seem to believe. Most of the woke stuff in the past comes from the top (Adam and his goons). A lot of these guys just want to hoop and make money.

You may be right for all I know (I haven’t really cared about the NBA since circa 1990), but the guys on the floor have a right to think whatever they want. When the organization starts pushing Left politics (well, really, I don’t want them pushing Right politics either, it’s a game, it’s for entertainment … though I’d shite myself if a league stood up for closed borders or whatever) that’s a different thing entirely (to my mind, anyway). “Okay, then frick ALL of this.”

The NFL is more woke than NBA. They still have those woke statements in each end zone too, you don’t see that on NBA courts.

I want to bitch out of spite ...it feels like pandering coming from the NBA, but it's a step in the right direction. We need that '92 Dream Team America frick Yeah energy back.

Pop, Kerr, LeBron, Wade who had a transgender kid. The nba is woke. Don’t get it twisted.

There are certain conservatives among the players and coaches though.

They are doing this because they know a certain segment of the population (the same one that might be more likely to post on this website) has fallen out of love with the NBA in the past and this is their way of trying to bring those people back on.

It’s a smart move for them

So they'll have a Nike Patch, a jersey ad patch, a USA 250 patch, and I assume a Finals patch? Seems like a lot.

Those are just the most vocal. It's usually the tiny amount that's the most vocal. The majority of these players will be fined or "punished" in some way if they share their true opinions. These players do not give a frick about pride month and other outrageous woke nonsense. Most of this is strictly being forced on them by people at the top and probably some outside political sources. These guys just want to suit up and play.
