Following the announcement that the NBA would be suspending its season indefinitely, quite a few NBA players have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the situation. “Man we cancelling sporting events, school, office work, etc etc,” Lebron James wrote on Twitter. “What we really need to cancel is 2020! Damn it’s been a rough 3 months. God bless and stay safe.” The suspended NBA season comes less than two months after Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant passed away in a helicopter crash. It’s very possible that James is alluding to the untimely death of his close friend and mentor when he talks about how difficult the first few months of the year have been.
Steph Curry also seemed to share a similar sentiment about 2020 as a whole, tweeting, “2020 aint it. Don’t know what to compare this situation to…just gotta buckle up and take care of yourself and those around you. Basketball will be back at some point but right now, protect yourself and stay safe out there!”
One NBA player who had been in touch with the Utah Jazz player who tested positive for coronavirus took to Twitter to provide fans with an update: “Was just on the phone with Rudy [Gobert],” Orlando Magic player Evan Fournier wrote. “He is doing good man. Lets not panick everyone. Love you all.”
In light of the news of the suspended season, NBA players weren’t the only ones to share their thoughts.
