Will NBA Choose Disney World to Help Resume 2020 Season?

The NBA has reportedly entered into exploratory conversations about restarting the remainder of its season at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida in late July.

Paul Pierce said LeBron James is not one of his top five players of all time.

The plan is for ESPN's Wide World of Sports Complex to serve as a single site for an NBA campus for games, practices, and housing, though it remains unclear if the league plans to play out the remainder of the season or jump straight to playoffs.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, some franchises in restricted markets -- including NYC, Boston, and Toronto -- are inquiring to the league on an option for players to bypass returns to those cities in June and report directly to proposed bubbles for eventual start of training camps.

The NBA season has been suspended since March 11, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
