Bron wants to play. CP3 wants to play. Giannis wants to play. The PA executive committee (with Kyrie on it) voted to play. We are going to have games.
Fun fact: the Pels’ PA rep is Nicolo Melli.

I think it’s a definite that they will start.
less than 50% that they will finish

Imagine being as dumb and short sighted as Kyrie Irving.

Seriously!! Is he basically inferring that if the league was majority not AA then the NBA wouldn’t be trying to start back up??

i love how guys whose literal job is to play a game for people to watch are acting like it's disrespectful to...play a game for people to watch 
i know there is a debate on the level of authority we should give celeb-athlete political stances/virtue signaling
but this is another fricking level

To be fair, I’m pretty sure 95% of the rest of the league thinks Kyrie is a weirdo

Maybe JJ and the players can clean their own rooms and linen and have the team chefs come and cook and prepare their food. To expect a $15/hour cast member to leave their family for 2-3 months in order to make the players happy is laughable. I bet when these players are on twitter talking about their travels, they require the hotel workers at the locations they are staying at to be secluded for a couple of months to ensure they are more comfortable.

All he did was point out that if you let people in and out of the bubble, you're basically bursting it. He's not wrong. And maybe you can't get someone to do that for $15 per hour and part of this posturing is maybe the NBA needs to pay the workers something too. But I would think what the players really want is to not live in a bubble. "If the Disney workers can live outside of the bubble, why can't we?"
If everyone isn't trapped in the bubble it's Feel Secure Theater like most of what the TSA does at airports.
ETA: and just to clarify I saw JJ respond to a tweet, I don't believe he's part of any official or unofficial pushback.

Pay the workers hazard pay to stay in the bubble(or whatever is needed) or expect the season to end real quick if everyone is just roaming the streets on off days.
I know most people have decided Covid is over, but Covid hasn’t, and especially in Florida where cases and hospitalizations are spiking to their highest levels yet, and death rates are trending up, even accounting for their (slow)rise in testing.
By the time this tournament rolls around trends are pointing toward this being a shite show of a state.
The optics and press alone if Florida is the new hotspot and players are out at bars and restaraunts around the city, and when that first case comes in, the notoriously image conscious NBA is going to shut things right back down. Better to be exhausting extreme caution than not enough. If people really want basketball that is.

Ohhh, nice! Now some pelicans talk posters will show their ability to be racist
Posted on 6/13/20 at 12:26 pm to J_Hingle
This is very true what kyrie said. Once the league starts, a lot of the protests will likely start dying down and the attention will switch onto other things (which is likely what america wants), so he's speaking honesty.

So nobody should work until racism doesn’t exist anymore?
Posted on 6/13/20 at 1:52 pm to SaintTigerPel
Strong leap you took. I simply agreed that starting the season again will take attention from what's going on in the world now, and that's probably what a lot of people want.
Posted on 6/13/20 at 1:56 pm to JayJay2
So too would opening movie theatres, parks, youth sports, etc... The economy couldn’t reopen because of COVID for months, assuming that’s lessened, should it now not open because of social justice as well?
Posted on 6/13/20 at 2:07 pm to SaintTigerPel
Still taking stupid leaps here. The nba is much bigger than that stuff you mentioned and you know it. It will distract from all of it.
