So, they are really doing it.
This is good.

State Farm will donate more than $200,000 on behalf of the participants to charities focused on coronavirus response efforts. This donation builds on the more than $74 million that has been contributed by the NBA Family to date to support coronavirus relief efforts through its NBA Together campaign.

Chauncey Billups is joining, I just hope he still got the touch.
This might become a long game.
Hoping no exhibition from Lavine.  

A little information for those who don't know what HORSE is.

Horse basketball

H-O-R-S-E is a game played by two people on a basketball court. The idea of the game involves matching baskets. The player who makes shots that the opponent does not duplicate, wins the game. Example: The second person shooting must duplicate the first person's shot, if it is made.

Good initiative by the NBA commissioner. At first I thought It was all business, but as I read the whole article, It enlightened me that these are for charities as well to raise some funds to combat covid. At least the NBA gives us a reason to stay at the safety of our home.
This is an overall good form of entertainment from the NBA, but damn I really missed the playoffs and it's intensity.

[el kaka22]

Honestly, I was expecting something kind of from home, I haven't seen any information regarding that so I don't know what will happen. If they are at the same place that means there needs to be some people there anyway, two players, one probably ref (not really a must) and some TV crew so they can air it, that means at least 3 people and up to probably 10 people if the TV crew is big. When we are at a stage where we have managed to stop all the NBA activity to make sure nobody gets corona, does it make sense to make this at the same place?

I would say maybe if everyone did it from their own home, that would be more legit, everyone could make sure it is proper and fair by just live streaming each other, like a skype chat or something which could be streamed on twitch, that way everybody will be at their own home court but also we can watch it live as well.

[NavI_027]

Nice! Well they are really proving to us that NBA really Cares . It is a win-win-win situation for all of us because we are not only entertained but most importantly the people who are affected by the pandemic will get help. I hope more and more events such as this one will come in the future.

Ah okay! So if the first shooter pull off a half court shot (or any kind of shot) then the other one must do the same thing? This game is so cool and interesting tho . In this case, I'll go with Trae because I think he is a versatile shooter than CP3.

Yeah, as I have said, behind close doors NBA management and families are really working together to help the victims of the pandemic specially in the US.

Of course who wouldn't miss the games, I think by this time it is already play-offs and players are upping their ante and their intensity.

You'll go with Trae?
And then what if he end up playing against Zach Lavine in the Finals?  
Then Zach wins the coin toss so he will go first?

We might see a windmill or a 360 dunk.  
Trae might go looking for a trampoline afterwards.  

The game could also go luck base. If you win the coin toss and make a three point shot at your first try then you can eliminate the other player if he won't make the same shot.

What we have been discussing here is like turning into reality.
They are really playing NBA2k20 with their own players.

That was really hilarious.
Pat is having some good time playing it.
Why don't they keep this going with each player in each team like an RPG game.  It will be fun.

It would really be good to look at but pretty sure that not all NBA players are really into console gaming or do even know on how to play game.

Its really enjoying to look at those fellas who do really indeed have a good time on playing.

[bitgolden]

It is obvious that younger generation is widely better if you ask me, these guys grew up playing these games and learning to play a game from 10 to 20 years old is different than learning from 20 to 30, you do not really play the games you play as many hours as you think you are playing during your 20's because "gamer" at that age is either a profession or something you do at max 10 hours a week and that is when you are super lucky and have freedom and a brand new game, whereas during 10 to 20 year old teen years you can literally play 10 hours a day some days.

I am not going to lie I was expecting Trae Young to be at the finals and Rui Hachimura as well, however this is not really that bad neither, two suns players playing each other for a title, probably the biggest achievement Suns had in decades .

Yeah, that should be considered.
But, console games like NBA is not that much of a hard thing to do.
Basic shooting and passing controls and you are good to go. 

The thing is, not all of them have much to do right now with this quarantine.
They might want to take the challenge to fight that boredom.

It seems that this epidemic of coronavirus will accelerate the development of the e sport industry. Of course, professional NBA players will never be as good at esports as someone who's been playing on a computer or playstation for 10 or 15 years.
However, I'd like to look at what they can do with pad if such an event took place

Yeah, I really think it will be awesome.
Just looking at them playing and thinking they can do what style they are doing at a console basketball game.

Steph Curry for example.
Those kind of outside shots might not really go in. I say like 1/5 maybe. That is a low percentage. 
How about those Euro steps? Did they inserted it now with NBA2k20? I know there is a hop step before but I have never seen a euro step.

I think many players play among themselves privately. I know that there are many game lovers in the community of MMA players.
Maybe someone knows about some league in which players take part?

When it comes to basketball in the world, it seems to me that the first games will be resumed by the Chinese, but at the earliest it will happen in May.

That's possible since they already open Wuhan where the virus originate, the chance that they will be the first country to open this sport is high knowing that they also have good numbers of people who are delighted with this sports, fans and those teams owners will immediately shows their interest once China government announced the possible dates for their league to be resumes.

[wozzek23]

Devin Booker really played very well, dude knows how to play 2K, I have been playing 2k for over a decade now and I feel like I am a good 2K player, not just individual myplayer stuff which I actually don't even love all that much but I am good with that as well every year (and change my position every year to give myself some challenge and even change pie charts for each of them) but I also love playing myteam, I may not be great at finding good cards but I have played with lower end cards against diamonds and have beaten them frequently, so I can say that I am pretty good at the game.

Hopefully this gives me some credibility and I would like to use that to say that Dbook was actually quite good, not "for an NBA player" good but actually good good, like would had give me troubles and probably even beat me type of good, not many NBA players I can say that after watching them on here. Shame PG13 couldn't join, that dude loves 2K as well.

In China, previusly they wanted to resume basketball leagues at the beginning of April, but later this date was postponed twice. The last date that was given is the beginning of May, but when I watch statistics related to illness in China, they are low, but the virus is still there, so resuming the games in may may be risky. I keep my fingers crossed to make it possible as soon as possible.

[Captain Corporate]

 We also really don't know if China is telling the truth about the virus or not just yet, they might be telling the truth or they might lying right now, all we know they might be still having a big trouble and thousands might be dying but they might be hiding that from the world as far as we know. I wouldn't even be really surprised if they are selling test kits and medicine to all over the world to make money while not really giving it to everyone in their nation, just so they can get more money from other nations and continue to be a strong nation.

 If they start CBA, at the very least we will see players who may get corona and get sick and not play, it would be right in front of us and it would be very hard to hide that from everyone around the world, which is why if CBA starts we will have a chance to see if they lied to everyone or not.

Oh God. This is a sad news. Well, I hope KAT is okay and also his family.

Remember guys, whoever is infected by this virus. Be positive as always and think like it is just another flu.
That is how I see doctors taking care of their patients. Hydrate yourselves as always, lemon with honey is also better.

I keep my fingers crossed to make it possible as soon as possible.

A lot of things will be possible if this happens.
1. People from other countries will be optimistic that we could fight it.
2. China will share the information on how they did it that fast.
3. If there is a vaccine, then they might share it.
Hoping that is a 100 percent cure.
