Last year, the NBA staged the final eight games of the NBA regular season and the 2020 playoffs in Orlando. Due to the rise of the COVID pandemic, the league used Walt Disney World to host games. We knew it as the Orlando Bubble. The Los Angeles Lakers won the tournament, which was held in isolation, beating the Miami Heat in the 2020 NBA finals. LeBron James and co finally brought the title home after a long gap, staying in the bubble for a long 82-day period.

Even though the NBA players were in isolation, it must have been hard for them to not see their families for a long time. However, it was a sensible option for the season to resume under difficult circumstances. Some NBA players couldn’t handle it because staying in the bubble for a long time increased their anxiety, and made them lonely.

Despite that, James had an extravagant room inside Disney World.

Not bad for a room to be isolated in.

It had two TVs on the opposite side, as well as a wet bar which also included a mini-fridge. Although staying in isolation made him miss his family, winning the NBA title was a perfect testament to his hard work and determination. But the Orlando Mayor wanted LeBron to visit again as he wanted to show the different side of the city. Are there plans of bringing LeBron to Orlando?

Orlando Magic finished 14th in the NBA regular season with a win-loss record of 21-51. The side has been trying to get a superstar since Dwight Howard left the franchise. Even though the franchise is in tatters, we will always regard the city as one of the most sustainable cities in the USA. With Walt Disney home to 70 million tourists every year, the Orlando Magic might be a perfect destination for LeBron James.

LeBron denied a move to Orlando as he may plan to retire in Los Angeles. James is a show-time player, and the Los Angeles outfit is suitable for his ambitions. With AD amongst the ranks, the Lakers are on their way to claim their second consecutive title.

With Orlando proving to be a suitable destination, we can fantasize it how the Akron Hammer would be in Orlando. The franchise needs to improve their squad if they are to receive James. But, it looks very unlikely, as he has set his heart in LA.
