Wilmington: 122,607A “nowhere small town in North Carolina”
I live in Wilmington. Where I live in Carolina Beach/Wrightsville Beach area is one of the biggest beach tourist spots on the east coast. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Harlem (a NEIGHBORHOOD in a borough of NYC): 116,345
Yes, you live in a small town. It's really not debatable.

Alright, someone’s gotta come clean....which one of y’all works for ESPN? Mike Greenberg just had a segment where he used statistical adjustment to say Michael Jordan would average 45PPG in this era
These are the types of narratives that get annoying regarding MJ. In '87 he played at a faster pace than the current league, played 40 minutes a game, and had one of the 5 highest usage rates of all time, and averaged 37 points. But he'd average 45 points today playing fewer minutes at a slower pace.

NYC is bad numbers wise but yall making it seem as if its a warzone out here. People still outside getting their daily exercise, people getting takeout, some people driving around and just getting some air, etc. Do some people OD? Oh yes, above 70 and parks (not all) are packed. But for the most part, people have masks and keeping a distance. Getting some Chinese food right now and I havent seen one person without a mask or any big groups of people.

Echoes some European soccer leagues who have slowly started allowing teams to start up training sessions again over the last month
In Germany they started in April and have been able to schedule a restart to their season for next week but they're quite a bit ahead of mot countries in terms of their response and curve, a little like SK, but it might provide a blueprint for other leagues around the world.
All games are gonna be behind closed doors btw, no fans or anything outside of select members of the media and team staff

Ahhh okay. You mean like listening to the CDC who says that a 99.1 temperature is not even close to a fever.....?

What if he took 12 3s a game?These are the types of narratives that get annoying regarding MJ.

Other than the beach and a university there's nothing of value in the city of Wilmington

Lololll don’t you live in Greensboro? What do you have over there besides the colleges and the historic district?
Tell everybody over there to stop coming here for vacation then in this “city of nothing of value”

I live in Atlanta.
Midtown to be exact.
But yea, I did live in Greensboro for 4 years when I went to UNCG. I outgrew it, wanted something better. Outside of Raleigh, Charlotte, Asheville and Winston Salem there was no reason for me to be in NC.

^^^ I was just reading up on Germany. Their COVID numbers are much, much better than ours. They did a very good job early on of identifying cases and quarantining people. If they’re just now getting sports going again, it suggests to me that we still have a ways to go.

Perhaps they're being overly cautious in the wake of what will be 100,000+ people dead over the course of a few months by an illness that they still don't fully understand?

You member when BeachEm insisted that the US wouldn't crack 100K deaths in 7 months? May only take 2.5.

Most definitely, it's the countries that had early and organized responses and are reaping the benefits that are slowly trying to roll things back now.
You've got people equating preventative measures in place for public safety, measures long overdo btw, as some form of oppression and actively fighting those measures in the US so it's definitely a long ways out right now
Folks aren't as loud and proud with their ignorance and anti-intellectualism enough to hold everyone else hostage in a lot of countries
Just good to have some precedents/models to follow though whenever the time comes

Leadership at the top and taking the virus seriously from the jump. Neither of which the US has had in any capacity even with months to prepare.

Combine that with the fact that deaths are probably being underreported right now.76,600 deaths as of this morning. 1.2 million cases in the U.S.. Probably get to 100K dead by next week.

I personally don't think any north american sports league should re open/resume play in 2020. Especially with the states prematurely opening back up, a 2nd or 3rd spike is imminent.

They’re already forecasting the second wave here. Say it should hit between Sept-Nov

Given the aforementioned, along with practice facilities opening up by the week, you can see the NBA slowly trying to open the league back up with as little backlash as possible. It's going to happen. They're going to give it a try. My bet is it happening, and in practice facilities (I guess arenas but I doubt it)
Still maintain that something like this is going to happen:
Use both LA practice facilities and go right into the playoffs. 8 teams in Playa Vista, 8 Teams in South Bay. Maybe a play in tourney. Champion will be crowned sometime in August. Most of the league lives in LA, the prox of both facilities makes it easier to manage from a social distancing / covid-19 perspective, I can see it. The bubble idea was in effect shot down

Smaller sports should start before the NBA.
Fight Sports, Golf, Tennis should not be hard testing those involved.
