NBA world reacts to Trump's victory
Jabari Parker was among the dozens of athletes shocked by Donald Trumps' victory over Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's U.S. presidential election.
The Milwaukee Bucks forward voiced his displeasure via Twitter, declaring he wouldn't support Trump:
Personally, whenever I see "Make America..." I see a time in place where slavery was still alive and women's rights weren't practiced.

Cocaine was explosive 30 yrs ago. Integration was illegal 60 yrs ago. Women's rights 90 yrs ago. America's prison system is still unjust
