You wake up with another day to do a whole lot of nothing. You turn the TV on and hope to see the return of the NBA but in reality it’s about COVID-19. You get on your phone and receive a notification but it’s about another NBA player with the disease. Things seem to get a whole lot worse as days, weeks and months continue. Not only are we suffering, the whole world is. No sports, no NBA, no nothing.
“What to do today?”, is what I’ve been asking myself these past couple of days. I wake up and it just doesn’t feel like a normal day, I’m used to looking forward to a basketball game but unfortunately there’s none. The NBA season has been postponed due to Covid-19. When will it be return is an amazing question not only I have but players as well. These past couple of weeks has been very rough, not too long ago a couple of stars in the NBA tested positive for the disease. One of the well known superstars like Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell and his teammate Rudy Gobert all tested positive. Now of course they’re not the only one’s as the list continues to grow. As you can see it’s affecting everyone and growing rapidly.
With no NBA games on TV you are forced to find something to do or watch. The beautiful thing about the NBA is, they are allowing people to sign up for NBA League Pass for free. With this pass you are able to watch all games from the 2019-2020 season, as well as classic games from the 90’s and previous years. This is so amazing for us fans because we are able to watch classic games which are hard to find and we are able to learn more about previous players that paved the way for many stars that we have now.
As a person that loves basketball it is very hard to not have live games since I’m so accustomed to being able to watch them every other day. During this time I have kept myself busy by going outside and shooting the ball either by myself or with one other friend. I as well went ahead and put up my Michael Jordan cutout on my wall to remind myself that regardless of whatever happens, basketball will always live on.
