LeBron James and players throughout the NBA have been through an eventful 48 hours. Following the Milwaukee Bucks decision to boycott their playoff game against the Orlando Magic, players across the NBA got into a room together to discuss whether or not it would be a good idea to move forward with the season. Eventually, everyone came to the conclusion that it would be best if the season continued on as normal.

He also encouraged them to seek a plan of action from the league before going back on the court, which is exactly what they did.
