Though I’m still disappointed the Charlotte Hornets didn’t qualify to be among the 22 teams invited to participate in the NBA’s bubble to conclude the regular season, as an avid NBA fan I’m thrilled to have televised basketball back in my life.

Basketball sounds. Without the overpowering noise of fans, jumbotrons, and PA announcers, self-proclaimed basketball purists like me are able to hear a nearly unfiltered beautiful melody of basketball sounds.
