Majority of both sides want to play because of money so no difference of who should have the final say.

Fahad Beg hes a black apologist, and it’s starting to make me think he’s racist because he’s so afraid to come off as anything other than “I’m team black”

Do an all nba vote! Players, coaches, all employees from arenas, etc! One thing is for sure there would be some spread of covid. They can start back up and a key player get sick out of nowhere, then what? How about if it ends being LeBron getting sick if they resume? Gotta analyze the whole situation.

Fans should have a say also. Watching a empty nba game is less entertaining. Seen this with ufc last weekend.

If they isolate a star, LBJ, during the playoffs for at least 2 weeks, than what? You stop the series or continue? If you want to play, you can’t stop a series just for that. See what happens after that, people and players will complain because it wouldn’t be fair to continue without a Superstar, but if you choose to play, that’s the risk you take.

Theres aways going to be a risk. There should be a deal from the league, god forbid there be a player that gets covid19 and sustains permanent damage that effects them as a basketball player they’ll be taken care of.

If anybody ever says racism is why you got corona… they need to be mentally evaluated

black people in the US are (by average) worse off than white people, mainly due to racist structures in american society, leaving them with comparatively less choice and freedom. poverty and health issues go hand in hand and, by and large, black poverty (and indirectly a higher risk of getting the coronavirus) is caused by systemic racism.
however, it does seem a little strange that he would bring NBA players who are extremely privileged individuals into this equation. especially when the league doesn’t ONLY consist of african americans.

Neither one of them are right imo. It should be voted on based off nba players, coaches, staff and the commissioner. Everyone that’s at risk should have a say. But precautions must take place

As long the Virus is rampant, i find it repugnant to even talk about playing. As long it is not contained, it does not make any sense to play.

Shannon Sharpe should join here and he will only agree if they discuss Lebrun
