Note "This book is based on reporting for the 'Washington post' during the 2019-2020 NBA season"--Title page verso.
Summary When the NBA shut down operations in March 2020 because of COVID-19, the league was in the middle of uncertainty. Four months later, twenty-two teams resumed play in a "bubble" at Disney World--a restricted location cut off from the outside world. Only a handful of reporters were invited. Ben Golliver was one of them. This book is his account of the season and life inside the "bubble"--adapted from book jacket.
