ESSAY: The NBA, COVID, and responsibility

The NBA is entering into its 75th season, and things are off to a rocky start. Media Day was last week, and COVID was the theme around the league. The league is currently trailing the 99 percent of WNBA players and 98 percent of NHL players who are vaccinated.
