    Exactly. No one is going to stop Harden from finding the one strip club open, and countless athletes banging random chicks because they can. This is going to be the NBA's Olympics Orgy. Covid-19 and HIV for everyone!

    I am sure Jamal Murray wears a condom and flushes it. During NBA Rookie camp, they are instructed to flush the condom ASAP because the female might take the condom and you know...

    Blake Griffith did not get this memo and is now paying $100k a month for the baby

    They could also combine the Skill contest, 3pt contest and the Dunk contest and determine the champion with the minimum of contact which is none.

    NBA Players need to be like Warriors.

    We're Fighting An Invisible Enemy Created by the Democraft and CCP.

    Sports and the Economy must open up. People will die, but the Economy must go on.

    Besides, if you put UV Light on these NBA Players, the Virus will disappear and the hot weather in Las Vegas and Orlando will magically make the Virus disappear. We got this!!!!

    Tell that to the MJ Bulls. Or Kerr's GSW championship teams.

    Centers were low minutes and tertiary players at best.

    It's the modern era, centers are so deemphasized they are not even recognized in all star games.anymore.

    Rockets have took it to the next evolution. Even the MJ Bulls lost games son.

    Have a leader mentality. Not a sheep's.

    That's easy....no play, no pay. Not that I necessarily blame them, but its an easy question to answer.

    I suspect the vast majority would need to be in favor in order for this to proceed. So, you'd be dealing with outliers. I really don't see many of them saying they wouldn't though. I think not having fans there would be a bigger deal to them...although that would then lead to the 'if its too dangerous for fans, why are we there?' question. The answers would be 'here's all the precautions we've taken.....', and I think you'd get the majority of them on board. Athletes think they're invincible anyway, so there's that, too.

    As for Dallas (I live there) yes that's true, BUT Dallas didn't have the case volume that many other large cities did to start with. ie, the curve was really flat. It also seems a bit coincidental, in that it would take some time for the opening up to have a direct impact on cases, and cases went up immediately. Which is why Abbott is saying its more of a data blip. We shall see. The real issue has always been not really case increase or decrease...but whether or not the health system will be overwhelmed. The case count in Dallas, although up, doesn't even begin to indicate that...for now.

    Too many players already hurt.

    The nba veterans don't have anything to really prove.

    The coaches have the most to lose.
