I think it was the right time for our country. I think it was the right time for our sport. The response to that was fantastic,\u201d Phelps said. \u201cWhat we do in the areas of social justice and diversity equity inclusion is going to be authentic to who we are. May not be the right thing for the NBA, but it\u2019s going to be the right thing for us.\u201d\u201cThere was a question at the time: Social justice, is that something a sport should do, NASCAR should do?\u201d Phelps added. \u201cDo we have permission to do it?
