Someone reposted a playlist of old NBA games on Reddit the other day, i thought i should share the link here.

I've seen the NBA official YouTube channel posted the game of 2013 NBA Finals Game 6: San Antonio Spurs @ Miami Heat (SAS leads 3-2).
Their latest post was not that so old but a game of few years ago.

NBA uncertain whether it will withhold player salaries due to coronavirus pandemic

NBA players may have their salaries withheld as a result of the coronavirus. A league memo — which was sent Friday — indicated that the NBA is unsure whether it would start withholding salaries from players starting April 15, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Guys if you read first the title, it will really come to the point to think that, "why not just stay at home"?

You need to read fully well the article before making such a conclusion. For me, it's good as long as the "conditions are met".

NBA commissioner is not dumb to propose something that will risk the people and it will be discussed well with the players. That's why all conditions must be met before executing the plan.

I don't want to give comments at each condition as I might end up on a long post lol so if you want to pinpoint some of it maybe we can exchange opinions and views towards it.

I agree with the statement that is in bold.
Make it a charity with entertainment. That is what NBA is also about.

I might be sound stupid but it would be much better if they wont do such thing.Why? we are on a pandemic problem.If they intended to donate or some sort of charity then
they do just need to give it directly rather than considering again on having some match. Fans around the globe can understand on the situation we are facing and
it would be a bad idea if they push to have some game just they are concern for their fans or terms or entertainment? This isnt the right time imho.

If they somehow manage to get a charity match going on, why can't they make a real game as well? The only way we can be sure about everyone being safe is everyone staying home, there is no way that a charity game could ever be safe.

I understand that we are talking about billions lost in revenue but we can't just make sure everyone keeps the hype up. Just stay at home, no regular season, no big3, no charity, there should be NOTHING, this is a serious thing and we should definitely have nobody outside, just the vital sectors that will keep people alive and well, that's it, if you are not doing something very vital for the world, stay at home. I hope they are not serious about the charity game and they will take a look at other options on when they can comeback and stay home until that moment.

Best thing to help containing this pandemic virus. If they wanted to help then stay at home is the best thing to do for now, those charitable thing can be done without a need of playing, there are still billions of dollars from the pockets of every people that sorround this league there's no necessary needs to encourage anyone to play for the best interest of everyone.

Former NBA player has something to say against Trump.

Jeremy Lin slams Donald Trump's 'racism' in calling coronavirus 'Chinese virus'

Oh well, what do you expect from Trump's mouth.

Also, the latest news says that corona virus now penetrating in the western countries while in China, its already under control.
https://ph.yahoo.com/news/world-feared-china-over-coronavirus-185251823.html

Very interesting to note though that China has 0 reported case of the virus. Looks like they have contained it thru lockdowns and tests and protection from those who have not been affected.

Good for the NBA commissioner to think a way to help back and used basketball as a fund raiser. "Shooting" two birds with one stone.

How would this season would resume when more and more of the players are infected with the virus.
I think the organization despite being optimistic are just fighting on a slim chance here to resume the season.

Im not already expecting that the season would resume as early as possible.Situation becomes worst as day goes by
which it can been seen on numbers growing for those players who test positive with this virus.
Its a stressing thing for those people who are hoping for the season to be resumed.

Maybe at this moment we will just accept already the season is now over and it will not resume soon so we will not expect too much, let's focus on this current pandemic we are facing now, our main concern is the safety of our family and we should be doing the right thing to have self quarantine and be safe.

The trending issues now in the world is the COVID-19, this is the biggest I've witness in my lifetime so far, just KEEP SAFE everyone.

Yeah, for me too. I mean, there was SARS but it ain't like this.
This might look simple to some because the symptoms are dry cough and fever.
It really looked like a normal sickness of a normal human being.
But how come it became pandemic.
People are suddenly dying and are now in panic if you ever got one.

Back to NBA and Adam Silver.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28923583/adam-silver-lays-conditions-nba-return-mulls-charity-game-diversion

Quote

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a SportsCenter interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols on Wednesday night that, as the league attempts to navigate the coronavirus pandemic, one potential option for bringing back the sport would be some kind of charity competition -- separate from regular play -- to give millions of NBA fans stuck at home something to watch.

I agree with the statement that is in bold.
Make it a charity with entertainment. That is what NBA is also about.

Pretty depressing hearing from Adam Silver today that he has no idea when they might start up again, if they do. Some "insiders are now predicting early to late June. A lot longer than I had certainly hoped for. Side not, Adam Silver is an awesome Commissioner. He makes others in his role look pretty awful ( MLB, NFL etc ).

With how situation is going on at the moment in the United States and how virus is spreading, NBA cancelling the season slowly becomes reality and we might start to seriously consider it. I was until recently optimistic in that regard and believed it will be continued soon, but it seems like situation is far more serious than we thought few weeks ago, and in most countries it is only getting worse.

I don't think it is realistic for NBA to continue in let's say 2 months unless some miracle happens, and even playing without fans is risky enough. It will be a shame though if it ends cancelled as this season was supposed to be one of the best and most exciting one in quite some time.

Agree to that, this season is unpredictable since almost all the teams works well and compete well, this season might be ended for much longer period as many unpredicted situation happen and there's no need to force everything, waiting is much better than Force the quicker decision and make much worse thing to happen.

I read the article you shared, but why is the Lakers organization does not name the 2 Lakers players who are positive with COVID-19?

If I have to understand fully the tweet related to that, I think Los Angeles Lakers will give an official statement after testing all of their players, a complete report output of their testing.

Anyhow, all players are isolated and quarantined so not mentioning the names of those 2, for now, will not contribute to the spread (after test).

So the additional cases are:
1 from Celtics (player)
1 from Nuggets (not mentioned if staff or player)
3 from Sixers (staffs)

All persons involved are currently asymptomatic.

Now, this explains better.
I have a strong feeling that 1 superstar from the Lakers has been tested positive. Thus making the announcement of the names go out to the public on the latter when everyone has the result. That's very frustrating, the virus are destroying the league.
How about the other leagues/athletes?
Baseball, football, and etc? Do they have the same or close number of people as the NBA that has been tested positive?

Yes, there might be also in American Football since it is also a physical game with a lot of contact.
But this ain't the right thread for us to talk about it. Sorry. Grin

It may not be actually be a problem for the players but more of their staff specially the old ones.
Coaches and assistants on the sideline which we all know are like 40+ years old.
Those bracket of age are the most affected seriously with this virus and mostly end up dead which is the sad part of all.

I’ve not heard of many. I think it was the Yankees farm system whom had a guy test positive, I know the Saints head coach Sean Payton also has tested positive..not heard of much else though, personally.

but I don't know if they are conducting this kind of test and tracing for the people who interacted with the confirmed cases.

NBA is a big organization, taking care of its players and sensitive to the Covid 19 issue.

Any kind of test is surely done from players, staff and each team's organization. That's why they detect all positive cases in the league.

But there is a question that's still a question to them until now, who started this? Where and when did Gobert get the virus? Is it really Gobert the source of infection in the whole league or he is also got infected by other players and it just happened that he's the one showed early symptoms?

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio criticizes "wealthy" NBA teams for coronavirus tests

"We wish them a speedy recovery," de Blasio tweeted shortly after the Nets' announcement. "But, with all due respect, an entire NBA team should NOT get tested for COVID-19 while there are critically ill patients waiting to be tested. Tests should not be for the wealthy, but for the sick."

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-york-city-mayor-bill-de-blasio-criticizes-nba-teams-access-to-covid-19-tests-four-brooklyn-nets-coronavirus/

Why shouldn't they?

If they have all the means to get tested and it's from their fund and money, why they don't deserve it? I know that there's a need for other ill patients but it's just for testing.

How about to those who interact with players that have this virus, aren't they exposed and possible to also to carry this disease. I agree with you
as even they are healthy but they also need this test to make sure that they are not carrying this virus.

They are.

There's no excuse, there should be a public tracing who are these people but I don't know if they are conducting this kind of test and tracing for the people who interacted with the confirmed cases.

Knowing who Trump is, I do not doubt that this had some kind of voting or popularity thing. His base is basically the racist, redneck type of people and they are basically getting out to vote when you tell them Mexicans are rapists, when you tell them europeans are snob, when you tell them "chinese virus", when you tell them "welfare is blacks getting free money for not working because they are lazy" or stuff like that. I don't know if Trump himself is actually as racists as he lets out to be, because that dude would LOVE mexicans and blacks if he could get their vote somehow or loved by them, look at Kanye for example, dude just does and thinks whatever makes him more loved, and he is loved by the racists so he acts racists, like I said if he could get insane amount of love from progressive leftist policies and get super amount of popularity from it, dude would basically be the new bernie sanders, his character is whatever makes him more loved.

That's another addition and hopefully that will stop from their but we can't also discount the possibility that their immediate families might be infected as well. I read the article you shared, but why is the Lakers organization does not name the 2 Lakers players who are positive with COVID-19?

That might be the franchise or players own decisions, we do hope that whoever that might be those people who are within their reach will be also
undergo with testing the possibilities of being infected of this spreading virus.
This is really hard in terms of sorting everyone who are in touch of this two players.
