Bubbleball
inside the NBA's fight to save a season
Book - 2021
When the NBA shut down operations in March 2020 because of COVID-19, the league was in the middle of uncertainty. Four months later, twenty-two teams resumed play in a "bubble" at Disney World--a restricted location cut off from the outside world. Only a handful of reporters were invited. Ben Golliver was one of them. This book is his account of the season and life inside the "bubble"--adapted from book jacket.
