Like most Boston Celtics/ NBA fans, I was heartbroken and at a loss for words when the remainder of the season was suspended in light of the coronavirus pandemic. And as the crisis deepens and everyday life for most Americans has been so fundamentally disrupted, it’s becoming more and more clear that there probably won’t be any more NBA action for the foreseeable future.
For me, like many sports fans, the first indication that this was going to be an unprecedented crisis was the abrupt cancellation of the NBA season.
In the grand scheme of things, the loss of human life and the toll this will take on our collective psyche will far outweigh the loss of professional basketball.
