Sounds like the NBA will have good security in Orlando including former special operations forces.

I’ll be shocked if the competitive balance isn’t disrupted at various points in the remainder of the season and playoffs. If it does this champion will likely be saddled with a big asterisk.

If a player like Lebron or Kawhi couldn't play it would be a one.

Here is the schedule of when teams travel to Orlando. The Suns leave on July 7th.

I'm trying to let that sink in. That's not very far away.

Exactly 5.3% of NBA players tested positive on Tuesday.

Fun fact: Darius Miles, Jeff Malone, Anthony Carter and Spud Webb - twice - all shot exactly 5.3% from 3-point range in a season.

Well, the Raptors won the title with Durant and Thompson out for the Warriors and there is no asterisk. That said, the whole nature of this season is unprecedented.

22.3% of tests that came back yesterday in Collier County, Florida were positive.

Collier County is where the NBA champion Toronto Raptors are currently staying as they prep for next month's trip to Disney.

I don’t mean an official asterisk. I mean a mental asterisk. Like when anyone talks about the championship. There’s a difference between players getting injured which are freak incidents and players missing games due to quarantine in the middle of a pandemic.

Can you imagine if two teams make it to the finals and one team has an outbreak that effects 5 or more players?

Well, we'll see what happens. I guarantee if the Clips win a chip this year that Lakers fans will claim it's illegitimate even if no players are out with Covid.
