BERMAN: All right. We do have breaking news, not just sports history, but social history, a major cultural event. ESPN is reporting that two of basketball's biggest teams, the Lakers and Clippers, have voted to sit out the rest of the NBA season in protest after the police shooting of Jacob Blake. It's unclear what happens next there. But we've already seen NBA playoff games canceled. The players wouldn't play. NBA -- baseball games canceled as well with players refusing to play, soccer, tennis, remarkable acts of protest here. Joining me now, NBA Hall of Famer and NBA on TNT Analyst Isiah Thomas, and CNN Contributor and NFL player for the New Orleans Saints, Malcolm Jenkins. Isaiah Thomas, I want to go first to you. The significance of this moment, we have never seen anything like this before.</s>ISIAH THOMAS, NBA HALL OF FAMER: I think this is a very proud moment for sports. I also think that this is a proud moment for America, because what is taking place, and I applaud the athletes and the younger generation, who have really come together to say, hey, we want to end this systemic racism that has been happening for hundreds of years in our country. And we're fighting for equality, we're fighting for equal justice. And when the players in sports have all come together and say, hey, this is bigger than sports, this is bigger than a game, and it's important that society not only responds, but our legal system responds, our judicial system responds and our governmental agencies respond. So, this is a big moment and I am truly happy for this time in our society where we are truly close to having an end to systemic racism.</s>BERMAN: Malcolm Jenkins, first of all, you're in Louisiana, so I hope you and your family are safe as the storm continues to move through your state. You are in training camp with the New Orleans Saints. Do you intend to play?</s>MALCOLM JENKINS, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: Well, I think, you know, we're a ways away from. END
