Which is it? Play the season or not play the season?
Maybe it's just me, but Adam Silver bows down too much to his league of players in the NBA. Too much freedom in what they can do and say. Now the concern is the season restarting and some players not wanting to be involved. What are they afraid of? That it could be another Rudy Gobert situation like in March? The NBA isn't that stupid. They know the risks and should follow what the NHL is doing and have rigorous testing. There has never been a cancellation of a season in its 74 years as a league.
I understand the cause for concern. Being in Florida for two months. Weather issues. Being around tourists and town civilians. It would scare some of these players. Especially for being around one of the most famous destinations in Disney World. You never know who could sneak in and infect the staff and teams. The league wants to finish what they started. Provide a distraction in all the chaos surrounding the world. Showcase a new champion. Being well prepared should ease the tension and hopefully get the players to return to a normal routine. When December rolls along, the sport normalcy will get back to 100 percent.
Golf and auto racing is necessary, but basketball will be the big push for audiences.
