Seeing the images and hearing the news out of Paris — terrorist attacks that have killed innocent people in one of the world’s great cities — has left all of us sickened, saddened, and feeling sympathy for the victims and their families. It’s senseless.
A number of NBA teams had a moment of silence before the game to honor the victims in France.
The NBA has 10 French players in the league, and some of them took to Twitter — as did non-French players — to express their thoughts and sympathy with the people of Paris. What follows is just a sampling of that outpouring.
