Pretty slow day.

Here’s a tidbit from Shams:

The “bubble city” idea has been kicked around by pretty much every sports league out there. You move everybody temporarily to one central location with the appropriate facilities, test the players and staffers regularly, and play basketball.

NBA reporter Keith Smith actually used to work at Disney World, and he wrote a really good story back in April outlining what this concept might look like:

The HP Field House is already set up to host high-level basketball, hosting the AdvoCare Invitational college basketball tournament every November. Not only is the court ready to host NBA games, the broadcast setup is already in place.

In addition to the HP Field House, EWWS (ESPN Wide World of Sports) is home to the Visa Center. The Visa Center can be set up to house as many as six full-sized basketball courts, or configured stadium-style with one primary court. Like the HP Field House, the Visa Center is also broadcast-ready.

EWWS also has The Arena, which was primarily built to house national championships for cheer and dance, but can easily be configured for basketball. There is space to house six-plus basketball courts, and like the HP Field House and Visa Center, The Arena is also broadcast-ready.

It makes a lot of sense. Disney has the facilities to do it. Just gotta finalize a plan and get everybody to sign off, and maybe we have basketball sooner rather than later.
