As the NBA is approaching its restart of 22 teams in Orlando, there have also been other talks. ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan has reported that the league is seriously considering hosting a second bubble and Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry thinks it would make no sense.
The second bubble is said to be housed in the windy city of Chicago. While 22 teams will compete for the Orlando championship, eight other teams would lose the action. There would be a long gap for these teams when they return to playing competitive basketball next season.
Therefore, to reduce the huge gap in between, the league appears to be working on a second bubble. But not all teams favored him. It is clear that these eight teams do not compete for the title and therefore feel that it would make no sense to compete against each other.
Steph Curry is on the fence for the second bubble
The three-time champion is a competitor during the ongoing American golf tournament. Steph Curry recently connected to ESPN’s SportsCenter, where he explained his views on the NBA by organizing a second bubble.
“At the end of the day, it would be difficult for me to play nonsensical games, and it’s pretty obvious”, Steph said. “But in terms of young guys trying to get the same amount of basketball to break, for the last eight teams, this potential layoff of eight, nine months, I think it’s a good effort. Obviously safety first of all, that’s what it is. So if they can answer these questions, we’ll see what happens. “
While Steph Curry thinks it is not important for a player of his caliber to compete in an unhealthy bubble, there is also some positive aspect. There are beginners and young talents who have lost a lot of exposure due to the unplanned break.
Steve Kerr also expressed his opinion on the second bubble of the ‘Hoops, Adjacent’ podcast, presented by Atletico. Kerr admitted that it would really be a development opportunity for the team to explore their talents. In the absence of their supporters this season, many young people have had the opportunity to adapt and take on the responsibility of the Warriors.
If the second bubble plane works, teams like Warriors can take advantage of it. Above all, Steve Kerr knows that the championship has the final say. “We will do whatever the league asks us to do. If that means going to Chicago for a bubble, then we’ll do it. ” Kerr said.
