Watch: The NBA's Powerful Video Honoring MLK Featuring Out NBAer Jason Collins


The NBA has released a powerful video - "Barrier Breakers" - in honor of Martin Luther King Day. Jason Collins' coming out is included in the clip as one of the many barriers shattered over the decades in the NBA.

The NBA has a strong history of firsts when it comes to breaking down racial barriers and proverbial glass ceilings.

In this spot, we explore the strides made within the NBA that not only embody Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, but the overall guiding principles of the Civil Rights movement.
