The current basketball landscape, in a single .gif:
The month of March has come and gone, and here we stand (sit?): organized basketball is indefinitely paused. Shoot, so is disorganized basketball; I haven’t been able to join my regular pick-up game for weeks, and I am missing that just as much as I’m missing the Milwaukee Bucks.
We are nowhere near the end of this, either. The league desperately wants to resume play, both for financial reasons and for something – anything! – resembling closure for this season. The NBA is looking across the Pacific at the Chinese Basketball Association’s plan for resuming operations.
