Suns Reflect on MLK Day

The Phoenix Suns understand what Martin Luther King Jr. had sacrificed.

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns aren't playing on MLK day, though they do have matchups sandwiched before and after the holiday. 

However, the holiday and impact Martin Luther King Jr. had is still something notable for Suns players:

"We all love MLK day and what he sacrificed, his ability to give back to everybody in the civil rights movement was a big, primary reason of why I love to give back and continue to put my foot forward, reaching out and being that mentor," Bradley Beal said.

"Being a steward of understanding and pushing our world forward."

Devin Booker also added, "I personally give back in the most authentic ways, that's what resonates with me. Anytime I can see somebody in passing in a natural, authentic way, I like to make their day. [If] somebody's excited to see me I'd rather have a conversation than a photo."

Full clip:

"Our ability to be able to love and just show a genuine appreciation for one another and respect, I think will go a long way." - Bradley Beal
