NBA Will Prove It Is the Best League in Sports: Unchecked

The NBA season restarts tonight from the bubble and will show us why it is the best league in sports.

The NBA is about to prove why it’s the best league. It’s already off to a good start.

Sources: Zero NBA players have tested positive for coronavirus out of 344 tested at Orlando campus since last results were announced July 20.

Consecutive testing rounds where no new player has tested positive.

Because due to the bubble plan and the test results thus far, I’m confident their season will finish, and safely. It almost feels surreal they made it all the way from Rudy Gobert to here. Which goes to show you how far trust in leadership can go, as the players and Adam Silver seemingly work together and not against each other. 

The MLB couldn’t sell a bubble in Arizona to its players association. Without a comprehensive national plan to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the NBA never believed it could play outside of a closed environment. So far, the NBA's Orlando experiment is working. https://t.co/jP4POkEFjn

And then there’s the product on the floor, which features the best athletes in the world and many of the biggest stars in sports. The things these guys are able to do makes me wonder how we can be a part of the same species, as sometimes it feels like the Marvel logo should scroll across the screen before an NBA game.

So getting to see the likes of LeBron, Giannis, Kawhi, Luka, Harden, Zion and all the other special players back in action is something I will never take for granted again.

And I think we might be in for some of the best basketball we’ve ever seen. As once the rust is off, the level of focus is about to be off the charts. This bubble was built for ball after all and teams will be on a shared mission to compete for a championship that I believe will always have special meaning historically. I don’t think anyone will ever forget the circumstances involved here.

After a 141-day hiatus, the NBA is finally back. 🙌

So, as all eyes move to the NBA, they are about to show us what we were missing, and I for one won’t miss it.
