Former Memphis Grizzlies guard and now analyst Brevin Knight was already a beloved voice for the city of Memphis with his honest and educated commentary of the game but now with him taking to Twitter to share his thoughts on social justice, he has shown that his passion goes beyond basketball.

Knight would voice his frustrations as a black man and as a father while wondering are peaceful protest enough.  "We've peacefully marched in the past with no change," said Knight. "I’ll never condone the destruction of communities but I understand the frustrations."

I’ve sat and watched these last few days and thought I was now ready to comment. My anger earlier left me with nothing constructive to say. I’m still angry and still trying to explain to my son where we go from here. Because we’ve peacefully marched in the past with no change.

I’ll never condone the destruction of communities but I understand the frustrations. When your voice and cries for equality aren’t met then people run out of options. Too many times talk happens with no action.

I stand with everyone that is fighting the good fight and I’ll do whatever I can to use my platform for change. There’s no more standing on the side and there’s no more athletes be quiet.
