The dunk contest is rigged then unrigged. Meh.
I can't really get into the All-Star weekend.
I'm sure I'd love it if I were there in person, but I'm not.
So, NBA players are reduced to playing virtual HORSE. Sheesh. I suppose it beats reruns of the 2004 spelling bee.
Do WNBA players get to play WHORSE? Their shot is worth 83% of a man's, and if doesn't take much to pronounce it "whores".
Does LeBron growing a James Harden beard make being within 6' of him a foul, instead of his usual 3' zone??
Tried to watch the other night when Chauncey was up against Trae Young. Couldn’t.

Adam Silver Warns Player Against Leaving Bubble For Strip Clubs With Lackluster Talent
Quote:
ORLANDO, FL—Encouraging players to use their better judgment and not take unnecessary risks, league commissioner Adam Silver issued a warning Friday advising players against leaving the NBA bubble to patronize strip clubs with lackluster talent. “We don’t want players jeopardizing the bubble just to deal with bogus cover charges and asshole bouncers,” said Silver, attaching a list of local gentlemen’s clubs to avoid due to subpar food, exorbitant ATM fees, and stuck-up dancers. “If you’re gonna take such a huge risk, you better go somewhere that’ll give you some real action when you drop a few hundos. Don’t sell yourself short with some of these bush league Orlando clubs when South Beach is a short drive away. If you’ve got a game that night and you absolutely need to stay local, check out Blue Flame—I dropped 20 grand there a few weeks ago, that place is amazing.” At press time, Silver announced plans to staff the bubble itself with a hundred dancers after getting thrown out of another local establishment.

In a significant turn of events in COVID-19 testing, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted an emergency authorization for the public to begin employing a saliva-based test expected to significantly increase the availability, turnaround time and affordability of combating the coronavirus epidemic in the United States.
Developed by Yale University and jointly funded by the NBA and NBA Players Association, the testing method was granted approval by the FDA on Saturday.
No basketball last night. Wonder what happened?

CULVER CITY, CA—Preferring to just watch playoff basketball in peace, Lakers fan Derek Wainwright expressed frustration Thursday that he was being forced to recognize basketball players’ humanity in any way. “I wish they’d stop bringing basic human dignity into sports, so I can enjoy the damn game,” said Wainwright, adding that NBA players get paid top dollar to repress their emotions. “I want to cheer for LeBron, but I don’t need him shoving his concerns over police brutality in my face. Thinking about their personal lives completely ruins the whole experience for me. Plus, I’m already rooting for Black players so this message that they’re people with concerns about inequality doesn’t even apply to me.” At press time, Wainwright criticized “bandwagon fans” for only supporting LeBron James when he’s on the brink of winning civil rights.

It's hard to see the heat with like a hard working tough team like this.
Miami's injuries feel like the Lakers in the '89 Finals.

Like a lot of people in lockdown in the outside world, players spent their free time inside the bubble drinking. And seemingly at the center of it all was CJ McCollum of the Portland Trail Blazers, who became something of the NBA's unofficial source for wine. McCollum stacked his hotel room with cases of his own Pinot Noir blend, McCollum Heritage 91, keeping the thermostat at a cool 65 degrees. He gifted dozens of bottles to players, and CJ's wine became a hot-ticket item—a bubble grail. Kawhi Leonard once stopped CJ to ask questions about the Pinot Noir and say he was a huge fan. (“I got the endorsement from Mr. Leonard!”) As was Anthony Davis, who, according to McCollum, stood next to him at the free-throw line during a Round 1 playoff game to tell him: “Thanks for that wine. That shit was good.”

NEW YORK—Effusively boasting over the connection long-time New Yorkers feel to this up-and-coming team, media and fans praised the Knicks Tuesday for embodying the city’s true spirit of overhyped media creations. “It feels great to see a Knicks team that can speak to New York by turning the smallest run of success into inescapable nationwide hype,” said New York resident Damien Bradley, who raved about Knicks’ power forward Julius Randle being the second coming of Kevin Garnett. “Every night, those guys go out there and get way more praise than they deserve. The amount of media attention dedicated to this team just speaks to the people of this city. They are what New York is all about, which is being constantly praised for what Boston and Philadelphia actually do better.” At press time, the New York Post had sparked debate by claiming this team could become even more overpraised and overrated than the early ’70s New York Knicks.
