Dallas Mavericks forward Reggie Bullock has been named the league's 2021-22 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Social Justice Champion, the NBA announced on Sunday.
Bullock becomes the second recipient of the award behind Carmelo Anthony, who won a season ago. Bullock was one of five finalists for the award along with Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday, Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr., Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns and Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet.
Abdul-Jabbar announced Bullock was the winner in a video shown at Mavericks' shootaround on Sunday morning.
Bullock has been an avid advocate for the LGBTQ+ community throughout his NBA career, which started after the killing of his sister Mia Henderson in 2014.
