The NBA just pulled off one of the most remarkable feats in league history, successfully hosting a 22-team race to the end of the 2019-20 season inside a self-imposed bubble on the Walt Disney World campus in the coronavirus hotbed of Orlando, Florida, without a single positive test among its players.
At the end of a 12-month season, the league’s premier franchise, the Los Angeles Lakers, captured the 2020 championship, and its premier player, LeBron James, took home Finals MVP honors. L.A. rejoice.
Everyone else’s attention now turns to the hope of a 2020-21 season, which will almost surely be held entirely in 2021.
