The author of this article is a former basketball player Kyle Korver who retired in 2019. This article was about his black teammate who received racial injustice during their basketball season. This racism was towards a teammate Thabo Sefolosha. He was arrested late at night during one of their away games and had his leg broken. This caused him to be out the rest of the season and had an impact on his career. Kyle though when he first heard this news, his first thought was to doubt him. He explains that people should not jump to conclusions and keep their mind open to possibilities. Racism is another subject he touches upon.
