For simply being honest about what lies ahead for the NBA. No fluff. No B.S. Addressed everything from the economics of the league to the health and safety issues confronting the players should the league resume play.

What are the chances of you attending a sporting event that is full capacity without a mask on right now?

The chances are not great when you have Shakes appointed as commissioner.

It's a pretty genius move. He's basically telling the players they may lose half their paychecks for this year and next year. All of a sudden living in a hotel room for 2 months in Orlando doesn't seem so bad.

Remember when LeBron said he would refuse to play without fans in the stands? I'm guessing he would now.

The how much risk point is key. And that has been my stance all along. The death rate is very low especially for previously healthy people.

I would absolutely be willing to go to a packed stadium. As evidence of that, I was one of the “idiots” that crowded into bars on St Patrick’s Day weekend right before the governor ended all that. I am not going to live in fear or stay sheltered for something that has a very low death rate.
