LeBron James‘ first assist in a post-coronavirus pandemic NBA could be from none other than Mickey Mouse … ’cause the league’s looking into finishing its season at Disney World!
The NBA is in talks with the resort about resuming play there … with The Athletic‘s Shams Charania reporting Disney has already offered up its property to the Association.
Of course, the venue makes a ton of sense for the NBA … the resort has several on-site basketball courts — including a few that are already equipped for television broadcast.
The Disney property also has enough hotel rooms — and, clearly, enough entertainment — to comfortably quarantine players and staffers while the league self-isolates during its resumption of play.
The Most Magical Place on Earth is reportedly one of a few options the NBA is kicking around … with Las Vegas being another potential destination.
As we previously reported … the NBA shut down play back on March 11 after Utah Jazz star Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus.
The league has continually looked for ways to resume games … although everyone from Mark Cuban to Adam Silver has insisted play will NOT happen again until its safe for everybody in the league.
