Last week the NBA broke news that they’ll be able to reopen some of their training facilities down in Georgia and Texas in the near future. Now there is a new rumor that when the relaunch does happen, whenever that may be, there has been the looming question. Will The Walt Disney Resort hosting the NBA season? Short answer, yes and no. I believe Walt Disney Resort is hosting the NBA season, but is that the only option?
Now, let me remind you that it is one of the many options Commissioner Adam Silver and the rest of the NBA were thinking and talking about. One of the many reasons why these rumors were spreading is because, like other leagues, they are trying to have their players play in empty areas and being isolated from everyone else.
I believe that by having it at the Walt Disney Resort the players will be isolated in their own rooms, no one will have to travel far, and no one will come in contact with fans and other people that might be down in Florida.
A former Disney employee told Yahoo Sports that the company down in Florida has 12 kept on site basketball courts ready for the use of anyone. The former employee also stated that there will be tons of room for staff, players, camera-crew, and officials.
The NBA shut its league down back in March 11th due to Rudy Gobert having the Coronavirus, this was at the Jazz-OKC game when fans were piling in. The NBA hasn’t been activated for a while but has been doing interactives like tournaments, drills people can do at home, video games with NBA Stars, and much more.
