Detroit Pistons forward Reggie Bullock (25) warms up before a game against the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena on Saturday, March 3, 2018.

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Bullock has been a public supporter of LGBTQ rights for much of his NBA career. His transgender sister, Mia Henderson, was found stabbed to death in Baltimore in July 2014. The man charged with the murder was later acquitted.

"I support them and feel like no hatred should be done against anyone in the LGBT community. And (it’s) just my right for me to stand up for my sister and the life that she chose to live. And I just stand up for her," Bullock said in an interview with the Free Press in 2016.

On Sunday, Bullock shared with the social media world a dream he had.

According to the Huffington Post, the momentum for Bullock's idea may already be in place.

Jenna Amatulli reports that in 2016, the NBA worked with GLSEN, an organization focused on eradicating LGBTQ bullying in schools, and Fanatics to produce rainbow-colored NBA logo T-shirts, which are still available for purchase.

Bullock shared the story of his sister and his support of the LGBTQ community on "The Head with Colin Cowherd" nearly two years ago.

Earlier this year, the Pistons posted a video where Bullock met with representatives from GLAAD and Athlete Ally and showed off the tattoo he has on his left leg memorializing his sister and supporting LGBTQ.
