Sometimes trying to do the impossible sounds good until the bottom completely falls apart. Everybody in the basketball and football world thinks that they’re smarter than the Coronavirus at this point.
The NBA is preparing for the restart of their season and on Friday Commissioner Adam Silver was on a conference call with league officials and the National Basketball Players Association executive director, Michele Roberts, NBPA president Chris Paul and Miami Heat forward Andre Iguodala.
Ole boy had this to say. “We know that COVID-19 will be with us for the foreseeable future. And we are left with no choice but to learn to live with this virus.”
That is absolutely true. I’ll stop him when he starts lyin’! Proceed my brother.
He goes on to say, “My ultimate conclusion is that we can’t outrun the virus, and that this is what we’re gonna be living with for the foreseeable future — which is why we designed the campus the way we did. And so it’s a closed network; and while it’s not impermeable, we are in essence protected from cases around us. At least, that’s the model.”
Now I’ll stop a boy from sounding like he’s on the call standing on top of a table butt naked foamin’ at the mouth. If he were dealing with robots or androids I’d say that what he was proposing would make sense. However, like I’ve been saying for the past month or so. You’re not dealing with that. You’re dealing with 450 “rich kids” that are used to doing whatever they want to do. And yes I know that they are adults but when you combine their ages and the bread they possess. Most of them are merely very tall kids because most of them don’t think before they do things. Trust me on that.
No way is that environment going to remain sterile because duns will find ways to get in and out of the bubble to holler at all of the groupies that will descend upon Orlando because everybody and their baby’s momma knows that there’s gold in Orlando. Not to mention boyz flying in all of their own women and side pieces.
All it takes is one cat to pop up positive and the entire ship goes down because everybody is all on top of one another anyway. It’s basketball for crying out loud!!! The very nature of the game has boyz breathing all on top of one another and exchanging sweat by the very proximity of the opponent.
I know that the NBA doesn’t want to lose all of that bread and that the season must go on but it can’t. AND they’re going to Florida where the darn bottom is already falling out? In my Uncle Vinnie voice, “Forget about it.” Stop me when I start lyin’!
