Games on ships? Lol desperation at its best. Cancel the season and let this virus run its course. Glad I didn’t study journalism or media studies lol, bored much?

SAS is a heartless scumbag that would rather see people suffer, as long as he has his precious NBA season.

I think they should embrace it. It’s a chance to overcome the NFL as the top sport.

The only people worried about the cancellation of the season are the NBA front office and the owners because of what they’re going to lose. Everyone else ain’t thinking about the season right about now.

people are dying by the thousands now. It would be kinda selfish to start the season now. I love basketball but were talking peoples lives!

Who tf said start it NOW? All the talks have been of a playoff in July or August, nobody knows what this will be like by then. It could be no big deal anymore 3 months from now.

It wouldnt make sense to play on a ship, you know how much money it would cost the nba to build on a ship.

It is not unrealistic to accept the fact that sports is not going to resume anytime this year.
I like all sports but really, does it matter.???

Sometimes people need a break from all the heartache and fear, so it could be mentally beneficial

Not having a 2020 NBA champion isn’t gonna disrupt the universe . One game check for most players is more than what most Americans make all year . They won’t starve by focusing on their safety first .

If the season resumes and one of these players come up dead, the NBA will be in so much trouble and they will have a stain on their brand for eternity, people will NEVER let them forget it either

The same team that ruined the league for years was dismantled and couldn’t be a part of nothing. It’s time seeing others contend

Dont cancel the season. If theres no fans so be it. But dont take away what these athletes and fans been waiting for. Let alone the work that was put in.

We will all love for the NBA to be back s*** all sports to be back. The fact there’s a worldwide pandemic thousands of people are dying everyday truly heartbreaking hopefully we’ll get some baseball this year if not the NFL’s next

The NBA should NOT IN ANYWAY continue its season this year, and in my opinion I don’t think ANYONE REALLY CARES ABOUT BASKETBALL as of now, or whether if LeBron wins a “Kobe dedicated Championship” for the Lakers. People as of now are fighting for their fragile lives, and so many people are losing their families to this whole virus situation. The right thing for the NBA IS TO SHUTDOWN THE REST OF THE SEASON, and start fresh with a brand new 2020-21 season, hopefully later this year, if everything goes well!

NBA games on cruise ships. 🤦🏻Stay in your lane. Leave the thinking up to the experts and argue about jersey colors.

The idea was proposed by an NBA owner (Mikey Arison) who owns Carnival Cruise Lines and the Miami Heat. So yeah, an “expert” came up with the idea they are debating.

So many people are gonna have an issue with basketball playing again with medical staffs just to salvage their revenue, when medical resources are critically needed outside where people are getting sick and dying. gonna create bad narrative against nba…but i do want to see some games though.

Love what Jay Williams said in this segment. It doesn’t matter about a basketball or a sports season. The only thing that matters is about staying safe and healthy
