After Kyrie Irving, I think there will be more players that will do the same.
Maybe you're right and some top players will make individual donate or, maybe NBPA will initiate some financial support for staff and players of WNBA.
Of course, this is to support the basketball for this is the mere reason for their living. This is one way to keep the numbers of fan will be able to continue to support the basketball and for that if help is needed to continue then it is a good decision to help. Besides, they too earning huge because of their talent in basket so it is also a way of paying back to the community or the basketball fans.

Are there Kyrie Irving fans out there? let's appreciate this guy's golden heart and care for the other athletes, mainly the WNBA players.
Kyrie Irving commits $1.5M for WNBA players skipping season

I totally forgot about this. WNBA season supposedly starts this month of June.

So they decided not to pursue the season like going in a bubble, same with NBA. A good choice too although sacrificing the league's revenue, players, and staff's salary.

After Kyrie Irving, I think there will be more players that will do the same.
I hope that there will be other players that will also give their bows for the other league. Although harizen is right, they didn't stopped the league but the pledge of Irving is for those who opt not to commit themselves during this pandemic.
If most of the athletes and NBA players are like him, there will always be those who would love to help others. I know many of them are generous to enough and don't show it to the public but this encourages everyone to be in help for others.

Maybe they realized that WNBA is not a big market as the NBA, so sacrificing the safety and to spend million again to resume is not viable for the organization, so with this, I think all eyes are on the NBA season resumption now.

Let's clarify this.

WNBA didn't cancelled or suspended their season this year. Teams will play instead a shorten season with only 22 regular games at their own bubble. They already started their regular season games last weekend.

Kyrie Irving's pledge are for those WNBA players who opt-out to play this season for their own reason. WNBA players can apply for financial assistance on the organization’s website so not all are eligible to received it.

To be eligible, players must have been on a roster before skipping the 2020 campaign, explain the reasons they decided to opt out, have medical considerations connected to the coronavirus pandemic and cannot be receiving a salary or financial assistance from any company or organization.

I don't think Clippers side will agree on it since he's one of the shooting guard they could have and besides the opening is nearing. That was reckless of him really but I think there will be considerations set but I think this is the second time it happened and if the third time another thing happened I don't know what sanctions will be given to the player maybe banning for the entire game until over is better.
This should be a last warning for him. I hope NBA can be more strict with this kind of events.
They cannot just let them get in and out like that. It's sad, Lou didn't even think about how he will endanger the whole team, worse everyone in the bubble.

I see. That must be the most fair action then  Undecided.

He knows it, we know it but he don't want to admit it.
Strip club for hot wings? Yeah, nice try.

You got me on this one, LOL .

Maybe hot chicks. Grin
Which is why he is mad when Perkins made a tweet. We are looking at a guilty person here.
A rapper posted a photo with him in Instagram then suddenly deleted it with also a bad reasoning after deletion.
He thinks he could fool us. But we ain't kids.

He's trying to play us for a fool but nah, he ain't getting away with it. Well who would've gone into a strip club after a funeral? did he really even go on the funeral in the first place? But whatever, what's done is done, I just hope no one, would pluck up the courage to go against the rule. And one more thing, they must be taught what's decency (at least), I think, someone's forgettin' it  Sad.

And when you are in a strip club the idea of social distancing couldn't really work within the concept of it as well. Hence, I think he did put everyone in the bubble at risk, we still don't have the results but if he is clear that is because he got lucky and not because he wasn't doing anything wrong.

First of all they are both not making too much sense when they talk, both of them approach the subject wrongly, however in reality Perkins has the right point.

Lou Will could talk about "stopping for a hot wing" all he wants, he was caught in a strip club with naked ladies and I am pretty sure he wasn't there for the buffett neither, dude was there to have fun, this is the dude we make fun of because he has 2 girlfriends at the same time (and yes they are aware of each other, this is a three way relationship with all three peoples consent so nothing to joke in reality) so I am 100% sure that we are talking about a dude who went to strip club to have some fun.

Whose side are you?
Oh boy, look at that. These 2 players are both drafted on the NBA from their high school years and this will be a good matchup LOL! Which side I'm at? I'm with the Clippers player LOL! To be honest, Lou was really on the wrong foot here considering he was the one not abide on the protocol/s but who knows I'm just a speculator and don't know the whole story why Lou did that. I'm neutral here.

Clippers’ Lou Williams will have 10-day quarantine on Orlando campus after picking up food at Magic City on excused absence — sidelining him through first two seeding games — NBA says.

Again, discipline is a mandatory for them to avoid this kind of events.

That dude is careless Sad. Games are just starting yet, and here comes the guy ruining the entire operation, damn. He should be banned from bubble (is it unfair?). What he did is a serious offense, and must be dealt with accoridingly, so nobody would screw around ever again. You know, gotta need to set an example.

By the way, he wasn't picking up any food, I think? worse, he was partying. Strange 'cause he just attended a funeral then he would be spotted in a strip club, selfish Lou  Sad.

Him not to be able to play in the first game of the reopening, that's already a sanction, the team needs him as they are facing the Lakers here.
No Lou Williams, Beverly, and Montrezl Harrell, I doubt they'll win against the Lakers.  I wonder what are the sanctions of those who previously caught violating the rules.

Someone photographed Lou and posted in Instagram.
They think they can escape it by deleting it but people are too fast in social media now.  Grin

Wow, I have read the article and Kyrie Irving has moved me, he is considered one of the best ball handlers in the NBA. Very well said he is a guy with a golden heart! In the NBA there are many concerns such as social justice, playing basketball, etc. Without a doubt there will be players who feel affected, physically and psychologically.

LeBron James set another record Saturday night when his 2003-04 Upper Deck rookie card sold for $1.845 million at Goldin Auctions.

How about that?! We are in pandemic and he is still alive.  Grin
Lebron's autographs price is going to be expensive in 20 more years.
How about his rookie shoes? Where are they? Gotta find it!


Quote
It's the most expensive basketball card ever purchased and the priciest trading card of any kind in the modern era (since 1980).
For the most part I do not recommend people to buy sports memorabilia since the prices change very rapidly, however in the case of LeBron it is obvious his stuff is going to keep being valuable during the next decades so if you can get some of his stuff for a good price and then hold it for a decade then you can earn good money, in a way this is similar to what we are already doing with bitcoin so it should not be weird for anyone on the forum to try to make money this way.
I never thought it that way.
Thanks for the reminder.
I have a friend that has been doing this for a very long time but he does not collect sports memorabilia but toys and music records and he has been getting very important profits all over those years, and he basically follows the same strategy that we as bitcoin holders use, he finds a toy or record that he knows will be valuable in the future and buys some of it, then he holds it for a decade or until the market for what he is holding goes up and then sells for 5x up to 10x profits, and just like bitcoin many people that listen how he earns money refuse to believe him.

I believe with him healthy in the playoffs, Clippers will be a good contender too as his energy in the floor could make the Clippers team better.
Maybe this is the time that Doc will get another championship because he get rid of his son.  Cheesy
There it goes, now Questat's wish is granted.  Grin
We are talking about Clippers now.

Harrell news was a good one.
But to equal it, there is also bad news.

Clippers' Lou Williams investigated by NBA about actions while on leave
and because of that..
