Patrick Beverley says NBA is excited to 'be a pioneer in today's change'

00:00 The NBA is going to use their arenas for voting centers and Patrick Beverly couldn't be prouder.

00:08 One of the big things that came out of this giant meeting that players and owners and

00:13 coaches, specifically Doc Rivers, all came out together is the fact that not only are

00:18 they going to continue basketball again, but just the fact that they're going to switch

00:21 arenas into voting places to vote.

00:24 Patrick Beverly said, "We're excited to stay here.

00:27 We're excited to be here and we're excited to not only compete, but to be a pioneer in

00:31 today's change within the world."

00:35 The idea that the NBA has been such a pioneer in this change is so interesting to think

00:41 about because if there's only, there's one good thing to come out of 2020, which there

00:46 really isn't many.

00:48 It's the fact that the NBA has been at the catalyst and the focal point of so much that's

00:52 good within the country.

00:55 When the country shut down, when sports shut down, that was the NBA at the center of that.

01:00 Now when it comes to voting, it is going to be the NBA again to be at the center of that.

01:04 I think that's something that players, especially this generation, can be proud of as their

01:08 legacy moves forward.
