Given the protocol and precaution being undertaken here to finish this basketball season, it’s unfathomable to me that professional sports will one day get back to normal. Quite literally, we’re told the reporters here will have front-row seats in these otherwise empty Disney arenas, watching and recording the history Kawhi Leonard, Zion Williamson and others make each day. What is happening here is a fascinating science and sociology experiment, featuring some of the richest, most gifted and graceful athletes in the world, at a time of perhaps unrivaled anxiety in this country (I saw a guy walking through the airport wearing a mask that said “Fuck Off” over the mouth and I thought, yep, that about covers the mood). Make no mistake, none of this is meant as a complaint against the bubble.
Why? Because the league’s powers that be decided the United States could not get the novel coronavirus under control enough to safely resume the season anywhere other than a highly secured locale, where masks are mandatory and a buzzer goes off when two people get closer than six feet from each other anywhere other than on a basketball court. At a cost of nearly $170 million, according to a source, the NBA has moved LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo and about 350 of their playing peers, as well as coaches, front-office types, reduced training staffs from the 22 teams here, and people like me - media - onto Disney’s campus for the next three months.
