This week’s episode on Man-to-Man, Andy and Liam recap the conference call between NBA execs and owners, as well as players from the National Basketball Players Association, including key individuals like Kyrie Irving. Irving proposed that the players take a stand and not return to the NBA season - rather continue to fixate their energy on the BLM movement. Irving and other players like Los Angeles guard, Avery Bradley have teamed up with multiple other stars around the league to create a coalition and challenge not only NBA commissioner Adam Silver but also other league constituents – from the commissioner’s office, ownership level, management and the players association to act upon racial oppression and commit to donating to certain charities and challenge the league to come up with a detailed plan on issues of importance to the black community before the NBA’s restart in Orlando. Moving forward in the episode, the young studs examine bits and pieces of the “page health and safety protocol handbook” which includes a 113 page outline of rules and tips for players and teams while in the bubble. Certain rules like, “no doubles in ping pong, decks of cards will be disposed after each session, and a player may not visit another player in their hotel room” were just some of the points reviewed in the episode. Another big question about the restart is how many people will actually choose to play for their respected teams in Orlando? Indiana Pacers guard, Victor Oladipo is one to keep an eye out for as the season-restart gets closer. Oladipo in an interview, he plans to ramp up activity with the Pacers starting next week and evaluate his repair torn quad tendon prior to making a final commitment to playing in the seasons restart in Orlando. Other players like John Wall and Kevin Durant have already chosen to sit out the remainder of the season, but what about players who simply don’t want to return because of Irving’s point? Regardless, all we know is, the NBA is back. Enjoy.
