But I thought he already claimed he's GOAT after 2016?


There are personal agendas in both Irving and LBJ's stands. Irving has no interest in playing, because he knows his team is **** and he might get hurt and the coward that he is, he's hiding behind a "movement" and the virus. As for the LBJ, he wants to play to prove that he's a leader and potentially win another title. Two totally different perspectives.

As for me, I'm fine either way. Democracy means every player can make their own decision. With that being said, as many here wrote, there's some big time potential for players to take huge pay cuts(hits) if this season doesn't restart.
Good assessment:

This proves my point.(especially when it comes to Irving) 8-) Teams that have very little to no chance of winning a title don't want to come back.

I actually hope that the season gets cancelled now, for a few reasons:

1) Kyrie isn't totally wrong - sports will take away media coverage from BLM. Let's force it to be the #1topic in the news. America shouldn't run from this problem.

2) Covid cases are getting worse in Florida. We should value health and safety for these players and their families.

3) This would be the nail in the coffin for Lebron's career. No chance at a title this year if it is cancelled. And you can 100% bet on the owners opting out of the CBA and locking out the players for all of next season as well. Why? Because I'm pretty sure they're not excited about having to play all of next season without fans too. They will have all the leverage they need in this round of negotiations, unless of course the covid vaccine appears before December. This will result in less favorable terms for the players, and of course, they will all be pissed off at Kyrie for it.

No more titles for Lebron and the Lakers, and all of the players being pissed at Kyrie. Sign me up!!

Since his time in Boston, I've kinda learned not to take anything that Kyrie says seriously. This isn't me thinking players should just "shut up and dribble." This is specific to Kyrie with regards to anything he says (or said about him in the media), basketball-related or otherwise. It's sad that the guy has become a punchline in most serious fans' eyes.

How NBA teams will play
The teams will play and practice at three different facilities, including The Arena (two practice courts, weights and training area, locker rooms ), HP Fieldhouse (weights and training area) and VISA Athletic Center (one practice court, weights and training area and locker rooms.

Each team also will have access to seven practice facilities that have a combined 16 practice courts on the various hotel properties. Each practice court has four baskets, a weight room and a training room. The NBA will organize practice times for each team in three-hour blocks. There will also be open gyms that players can reserve, while teams can reserve a walk-through room the side of a half-court. Each hotel has training rooms for treatment and rehab as well as meeting rooms for film sessions.

How NBA teams can entertain themselves
Teams might be required to stay on the Disney property. But in between practices and games, they will have plenty of options to keep themselves entertained.

Each hotel has a players-only lounge with NBA2k, TV’s, arcade games and ping-pong tables. It has resort-style outdoor space that has a set up for pool access and card games. The property has enough land for teams to go fishing, golfing, bowling, boating, bike riding and running as well as access to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Wild Africa Trek. The hotel has a 24-hour concierge service that includes movie screenings, DJ sets, video games, pool tables, ping-pong and lawn games.

For those worried about their personal needs, players can make appointments with selected barbers, manicurists, pedicurists and hair braiders. There are also virtual chaplain, yoga, meditation and mental health services available.

The sad part is the media actually reports what the effing nut Kyrie says. It should just be ignored. But they make it worse.
