Sources: Expect the NBA back playing by mid/late June with 10 reg season games before POs

Isn't that Kristaps Porzingis' brother Jokingis.

Sorry, didn't see the joke posted.... Damn.

 

It was always gonna be at a Disney location. They are the parent company of ESPN which has a TV contract with the NBA.

 

Sure, lets put them in a area where one of the highest percentages of older folks live. Great idea.

 

A large % of old folks live at the ESPN sports complex? Damn nice

 

Some players believe it’s bad optics for a league comprised predominantly of black men to be sequestered in one location for up to three months merely to entertain the masses and ease the league’s economic burden, sources said.

“What message are we sending by agreeing to this during this time?” a black player told Yahoo Sports. “We’re out here marching and protesting, and yet we all leave our families in these scary times and gather to perform at a place where the owners won’t be at? What type of sense does that make? We’ll be going backwards. That place isn’t that magical.”

Sources said several players have been reluctant to express their views in fear of opposing the superstars who are adamant about playing if proper safety measures are in place.

 

It feels like there are so many points of potential failure with this...I'm not so certain it will succeed...or even attempting to come back right now is the right thing.

 

This is going to be really interesting when one of the Superstars like Lebron, Greek Freak, KL, Harden, and WB go down with the virus

 

So this time the winner can't say, "I'm going to Disney World!" Instead, he'll say, "I'm going home! Finally!"

 

...and you thought MLB was bad.
NBA: Hold my beer.

 

2/3 of the top 40? Most players didn’t vote?

I’m starting to think they should just scrap this whole thing

with all that’s going on, my enthusiasm for the NBA isn’t high

 

Let's just protest our way to a championship, works for me.

 

I'm becoming more and more skeptical that there will be any games played.

 

Me too.

But it's shocking to see Kyrie Irving is telling everyone not to play. I mean...this guy isn't going to play anyway. Why is he telling everyone not to play?

 

You shocked that he's not 500 lbs like the Big Show in his prime too?

 

While the NBA is still fighting against the virus and for a restart, players have moved on to protest inequality.

Apples and oranges.
