‘His legacy is so vast’: Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder honors Rep. John Lewis with shirt, says voting has been emphasized in NBA bubble

SALT LAKE CITY — As the NBA community works to keep dialogue open regarding racial justice while in the league’s bubble at Disney World, Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder regularly wears shirts or shares messages during his Zoom media availabilities related to the topic.

On Monday at his pregame availability before the Jazz played the Dallas Mavericks, Snyder donned a shirt with a quote from the late Rep. John Lewis, a prominent figure in the civil rights movement over the last 60-plus years who died on July 17.

“Do not get lost in a sea of despair,” Snyder’s black shirt with white writing read.
