Not quite sure about Zion. Man just played 21 games in the NBA, media sure loves hyping the kid. Kinda feel bad for Kawhi not getting the attention he deserves, but pretty much he don't want having the attention too. Cheesy

Felt bad for Ja Morrant Undecided

. Young man excels among the rookies the same draft year as him. No idea about the market thing but does it have any connection? I mean they just ruined real recognition on the floor. Just pure hype, Zion doesn't deserve it yet in my opinion Grin

. Makes me wonder what would be his rating?

Luka, Trae, or Ja should've made it. Or maybe Vince itself though it's kinda late Tongue

Not against Dame but Kawhi should be the cover for NBA 2k21 for me.

Then Kobe Bryant for Legend Edition for an obvious reason.

No ETA for the release (or I just missed it) but if the usual release date will follow, it should be by October or November disregarding the pandemic status*.

Dame was just one of the three 2K21 cover athletes.

Well, the 2nd cover just got announced and I thought Kawhi could be it, but it's Zion. Lips sealed

Look it is quite simple, if the players are failing to keep themselves safe, if the players are going outside, or connecting with people and basically all around not keeping themselves at a social distance to everyone, there is two options. Either let players go and not play them, if players disagree with the choice they can go back home and decline to play which is an option right now, or just take them to Orlando, put them in the hotels, and do not allow them to go outside or give them the option to outside but pay a HUGE fine if they get corona virus because of their own stupidity.

I am sick and tired of these people (not just NBA, all people in the whole world) still going outside and not being careful, because of these people we can't go back to regular quickly, we should be doing much better now but because of people without masks, without proper care we are still doing bad.

Bad news came from New Orleans Pelicans whose three players were positively infected with COVID19. But unfortunately David Griffin
is vice president the New Orleans Pelicans team declined to name three of their players with COVID19. But David Griffin confirmed
the three players quarantined. Whereas last week the NBA announced 16 players tested positive for COVID19, out of the 22 teams that
will be performing at Walt Disney World Orlando. Hopefully this virus does not spread again, because if it spreads more and more fear
there will be another game delay. The New Orleans Pelicans will have their first match on July 30 against Utah Jazz, hopefully their
schedules will not change and all three players positive COVID19 can recover soon.

I think they should be transparent, as a fan we are also concern so it's nice if the NBA would make it transparent for everyone.
Now that the Pelicans are aiming for a playoff spot, they might struggle if one of the infected are part of the starting line up, I'm hoping now especially ZION.

since you haven't add the link of the news, let me add it,

I agree with you, if other teams make it public, why can't they.
I mean, what's the reason of keeping that information private when NBA is a public entertainment that everyone are interested to know.

With this news, would that hugely affect their chances now?
Need some thoughts here as there are odds available now from sportsbook shared in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54712043

Yeah, what the heck.
What if these guys already infected citizens.
This news about them could somehow inform those who are in contact with those 3 players.
They can save themselves or their loved ones from spreading the virus.

Why do they keep this kind of delicate news?
It ain't about pride anymore. What?! They will not tell it so they could make them play for the tournament?
I hope someone will step up to tell it is wrong to hide it.

There's still ample time for those positive players to catch the match if they recover within less than a month. But I don't think they will be allowed to play instead, they will be allowed to be there on the bench watching the team compete.

Wishing them the best for speedy recovery.

They can return to play if they recovers faster, but the question is, are they fully healthy to play again without proper practice together with the team?
I think if they can play, that would be after the regular season, so Pelicans has to qualify for these players to be in the line up again.

We don't know how long they'll be in recovery and in quarantine.

But if they will be confirmed to be healthy before a week or two for the game, there's enough time for them to practice. Although keeping safe is going to be the priority for them I guess and that's to take a rest.

After all these will be obvious when the Pelicans will play in the start of the season again, you will know who is the players that are missing from their roster.

It's better to do live betting then considering this news since we can't also see the information in https://www.rotoworld.com/ or other sites that are listing players who are not available to play for certain reasons, may it be injuries or personal reasons.

I don't know how medical disclosures and privacy work in the United States but if there is the players who got infected might have chosen for their names not to be public so really their vice president doesn't have any choice but to not name them what he can do instead is to confirm that existence of these players being positive with the virus. And maybe when it comes to the safety of their staffs as well as their fellow co-players I think they might have know by know who these players are but is not just being released to the public due to confidentiality. After all these will be obvious when the Pelicans will play in the start of the season again, you will know who is the players that are missing from their roster.

I go for the Kobe version in the legend edition since this might be his last cover in NBA game to remember him well. I'm sure most of the gamers will do the same if they can only afford to buy one. We can say this is our way to support him even he is no longer around. Kobe is indeed a legend no NBA players will play like him.

Here's the massive price tag the NBA is reportedly paying to play its season at Disney World

During an episode ESPN’s “The Jump,” Brian Windhorst reported that the NBA bubble will cost the league $150 million, or $1.5 million per day for 22 teams to play eight regular season games then the playoffs.

I reviewed Dame's work this season and I don't see anything special.

In most cases, NBA 2k's cover is related to a player the makes sound or buzz during the previous season.

Their reason is:

Quote

"From his cultural influence, musical success, off the court leadership, and on court domination, he's the perfect fit for our cover of NBA 2K21 on current-generation platforms; we're honored to have him."

He did make a buzz last year playing for WCF.
Even my neighbors are screaming Blazers and Dame Time every game against GSW. Grin

But before that, they were GSW fans. Cheesy

I didn't know they are also considering the other skills criteria here. That could be new.
Are they aiming their market sales in the music industry too? He is successful on that part.
As of the legend edition, no doubt it should be for Kobe.
I hope the family he left already healed their wounds.

Some updates poppin here.

Damian Lillard was one of the three cover athletes in NBA 2K21. I like it and Dame is deserving to one of it.

Kawhi and Kobe for the legend edition, anyone? Cheesy

Good to know Dame already got his and for the legend edition I think that'll be for Kobe no doubt for it. But it would be interesting if some other players would have it maybe like Luka or the aspiring rookies.

No ETA for the release (or I just missed it) but if the usual release date will follow, it should be by October or November disregarding the pandemic status*.

Agree with that because Leonard was the best player last season, not based on MVP status but getting a win for the Raptors in the championship.
Does it mean that Leonard was not really that good in marketing the NBA products because he is not a vocal kind of player?

We really can't know whats going to happen in USA during that time, we are talking about increasing number of infected people and dead people and we are talking about a president who wants to cut testing numbers down and we have people rioting outside, I do not see future of USA nicely and that scares me about potentially postponing even further as well.

Yeah, situation at US is a mess. Dunno but I don't think the league would dare to cancel the game again although the situation outside is getting worse, not unless they ran out of available players that can participate on July 30. Everything have been already set the only thing needed is that, players must came out negative from the virus Cheesy
