Henry Abbott joins the latest episode of Fastbreak Breakfast to discuss the NBA Bubble, LeBron James and more.
The NBA is finally back, with the return of tonight’s regular season seeding games. To mark the occasion, Henry Abbott (@truehoop) joins a meandering episode of Fastbreak Breakfast that touches on homemade granola, the race for the No. 8 seed in the West and LeBron James having an extra advantage on the Disney campus.
The basis of Abbott’s theory is how James’ already obsessive behavior will flourish in isolation and further separate him as a basketball cyborg playing among more mortals.
Beyond elaborating on this, the following topics are discussed:
- Does LeBron work harder than Michael Jordan did? And what exactly is he icing here?
- Do the Trail Blazers have a path to the playoffs that doesn’t involve relying on Wenyen Gabriel or Nassir Little?
- Will the playoffs in the bubble still have the same intensity and player nerves? Without home crowds and travel will playoff experience be a less valuable commodity than ever?
- Have we as NBA fans grown too complacent accepting lower production values in sports broadcasting, such as televised Zoom calls and grainy cell phone footage?
- Whatever happened with the copyright battle over “Happy Birthday to You?”
