Welcome to the NBA Bubble at Disney: Unchecked
If you can get past the whole isolated from the rest of society because of a worldwide pandemic thing, the NBA bubble at Disney World sounds pretty cool. It will certainly be unique, that's for sure.
In all seriousness tho. There better be a documentary team or two locked in for this Orlando NBA experience. We're gonna look at a documentary on all this shit in 2023 and be like this REALLY happened huh

And it appears the league has really made an effort to ensure players are as comfortable as they can  possibly be in what commissioner Adam Silver called a situation that may not be for everybody.Â
In fact, given the details out there now, as first reported by The Athletic's Shams Chariana, I can almost see the online brochure…
Also, daily DJs? Lawn games? Movie screenings? This NBA bubble is like summer camp. With... masks & social distancing of course. pic.twitter.com/l508S550ca

Welcome to Bubble, by the NBA. We hope you enjoy your stay, because you can’t leave.Â
But while you’re here, please take advantage of all of our fantastic amenities such as...
—24-hour VIP conciergeÂ
—A players-only lounge (wait who else is even there?)
—Daily entertainment, including movie screenings, DJ sets and video games (played six feet apart of course)
Per Walt Disney World Sources: Disney will make movies available for players and their families (once they join). This is likely to include movies that have not been released to the general public, including Marvel's Black Widow.

—Pools and trailsÂ
—Barbers, manicurists and pedicurists (you know that honestly sounds great right about now)
—Lawn games, bowling, boating and golfÂ
—Ping pong (singles not doubles, keep your distance)
My favorite detail in the 113-page health-and-safety protocol for Orlando shared with teams in past several minutes: No doubles in ping pong. "Until directed otherwise by the NBA, players should play singles only so that they can maintain six feet of distance from each other."

—Excursions to Animal Kingdom and other attractions
—Plus, best of all, access to live NBA action
Nah the NBA is really doing AAU Nationals on a high end budget and that is absolutely hilarious. The “you can watch other teams games” killed me.

In all seriousness, the NBA’s plan seems thorough and well thought out. From both the overall safety and entertainment perspectives.
I really hope it works out, not just for the fans, but for the most important people involved here, the players.
