Orlando Magic player Jonathan Isaac hasn’t just faced challenges on the court the past few years — he’s faced challenges from teammates, the media, and fans for his beliefs.

Isaac became one of many headlines during the BLM riots of 2020 for refusing to kneel with his teammates during the national anthem and then again when he refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

“I never felt comfortable with the tone and the rhetoric of the Black Lives Matter organization, and I didn’t want to co-sign their message by putting on their T-shirt, and also, I didn’t want to co-sign, you know, their message by kneeling,” Isaac tells Dave Rubin.
