What on Earth?

I was on a safari trip in Kenya last week when I got a text from my sister with sad face and a vague reference to the NBA with a link that would not open. I couldn't open it up until the next day when I had internet coverage again. I was shocked to see the NBA season had been cancelled.

I felt robbed. This has been a great season so far and we were just ramping up the second half as teams are starting to clinch playoff berths.

The last time I remember a disruption anything like this was the 98  NBA lockout.

IAs a selfish fan I am saddened, but I also feel bad for what cancelling the remainder of the season does to players annual stats, records, and awards. I especially feel bad for Vince Carter. He had the plug pulled on him before he could have a proper send off year.

I'm grateful the NBA and it's players are taking the Coronavirus threat seriously and trying to curb the spread but social distancing without watching highlights and the daily NBA top 10 is not the same. First Kobe and now this. 2020 sure sucks so far.
