We are beginning to learn the details of the NBA's plan for the bubble site at Disney.

And while of course the overall circumstances are not ideal, the league appears to have gone to great length to put together a plan that meets safety protocols but also establishes a welcome environment for the players.

Sports Illustrated host Robin Lundberg could almost see how the amenities might read as part of an online brochure.

If you can get past the whole isolated from the rest of society because of a worldwide pandemic, the NBA bubble at Disney sounds pretty cool. In fact, I can almost hear the online brochure right now…

Welcome to Bubble, by NBA, we hope you enjoy your stay because you can’t leave.But while you’re here please take advantage of our amenities like 

• A players only lounge (wait who else is even there?)

• Daily entertainment including movie screenings (Black Widow!), DJ sets and video games (played six feet apart of course)

• Barbers, manicurists and pedicurists (you know that honestly sounds great right about now)

• Lawn games and ping pong (singles not doubles keep your distance)

• Excursions to Animal Kingdom and other attractions

• Plus, best of all, access to live NBA action

• And if you have any issues while you’re here just call the anonymous hotline.

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