LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — It’s been three weeks since I arrived on the Walt Disney World campus in preparation for the NBA restart. I was one of two media members allowed into the bubble two weeks before the rest of the media contingent and a week before teams arrived.
The league permitted early entrance to two of its broadcast partners: Turner and ESPN.
I’m a full-time Yahoo Sports employee, but I’m also one of TNT’s sideline reporters. In late June, Turner asked if I would be willing to go to the bubble early. I asked when, and the response was in a few days.
