The NBA has never ended a season without a champion, and they reportedly want to keep that streak active in the eventual aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic.
Players and owners want to finish the season "no matter what," ESPN's Ramona Shelburne said Monday on "Outside The Lines."
"If that's in July, if that's in August, if that's in September -- so be it," Shelburne said. "I don't think anyone wants to start a new season without crowning a champion from this season."
"But I think we are all learning that you can't predict this thing, and anybody who tells you they know what's gonna happen in a month or two months is lying to you now because that's what the league is grappling with just like all of us.
