“Claustrophobic or Homesick”: Los Angeles Lakers Player Highlights His Biggest Concern About the NBA Orlando Bubble
Follow Us
Fans are eagerly awaiting the NBA’s return, which should resume in a little over a month. There will be back-to-back action as soon as the season starts. The league recently released the seeding fixtures and the Los Angeles Lakers look well and truly comfortable to hold their spot as the best team in the west. However, there can be certain concerns in the minds of players when it comes to competing in a closed bubble that can last up to two months.
Likewise, Danny Green has put forth his views on the biggest factor that irks him about competing in the Orlando bubble next month. The two-time NBA champion connected with Otis Livingston of CBS2 New York, where he cast his thoughts.
“I think the biggest concern for guys is their families,” Green said. “And that is the biggest concern about the bubble. Not being able to see their families for two months or having to visit your friends, and being locked in this place without having any interactions with our outside world.

“So we’ll see how long it lasts. Hopefully, no rules are broken.”
The 33-year-old also spoke about the consequences of the virus being spread and how it might affect the bubble.

Moreover, he also addressed an important factor. “Some guy may get a little claustrophobic or homesick or just have that human connection of getting outside and being with their friends and families. I think that is probably the biggest task of staying in the bubble and keeping guys focused on the bubble.”

“Some guys may disagree, have their own opinion. They’d rather use their social media platforms or just be in their communities, and using it that way. But, no knock to it, but I believe in this day and age, this era, everything is social media. Everything is media. Everything is the internet. There’s no bigger stage of all those things than the NBA finals or the NBA playoffs. I would have to debate that I think that’s the biggest or best way to do it.”
