More than five million Americans identify as Indigenous, but only Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving (part Lakota), Milwaukee Bucks forward MarJon Beauchamp (Mission, Luiseño) and Waters share the ancestry and identify with the culture. “Me, MarJon and Kyrie are the three main ones in the NBA that really carry that heritage with us,” Waters said. “And we take it upon ourselves to have that responsibility to be there for our community so getting to celebrate that with everybody around us is amazing.”
