NBA, New Orleans Pelicans: Their socks had a message of support for Ukraine

Jonas Valantsiounas was one of the first (if not the first) NBA players to speak publicly about the situation in Ukraine, the Russian invasion and the war that started six days ago.

The New Orleans Pelicans center did it again after the game against the Sacramento Kings, but he and his teammates shared a special message with their socks. In particular, everyone dressed up in yellow socks, sending a message of support to the Ukrainian people, which has been put to the test over the past seven days.

After the game’s final, Jonas Valantsiounas was asked about the color of the players’ socks, emphasizing: “It’s difficult to talk about because various abnormal things are happening there (ss: in Ukraine). We’re just trying to pay more attention to them, the enemy is still out, innocents are being killed. Everyone is talking about sanctions, about support, about prayers, but something else needs to be done because the war is still raging. The whole planet needs to see this. It is difficult to talk about this, but it is important to pay attention to the Ukrainian people“.
