The NBA is doing everything to ensure that the season returns and that the players can be as safe as possible in this tough situation, but also as entertained as possible-having in mind that some teams that go deep in the playoffs can spend 3 months in 1 place at Disney. So let’s go over the specifics. What up everybody my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. First things first: Players who don’t want to go there and play out the season, are allowed to do that without any penalties by the league. They only need to notify their respective teams until June 25th. So in less than a week, we’ll know exactly which players are going to play, and which not. Once they get there, the teams will have quite a few amenities to keep them occupied. Things like game rooms, bowling, golf courses, DJ sessions, as well as unreleased movie screenings, among many other things. As for safety- the number of people that will be on the campus is very limited. Every team can bring 35 people in total. 15-17 players and 18-20 staff members. They are encouraged to wear a "proximity alarm" that will notify them if they spend more than five seconds within 6 feet of another person on campus who is also wearing an alarm. Admittedly that can be a bit of a hassle, dealing with the beeping all the time. So since it’s not mandatory, I’m not sure just how many of them will opt to use this. However something that caught my attention is this smart ring that the league will provide to everyone who would like to wear it. Reportedly this ring can forecast and predict when players begin to experience symptoms up to three days in advance. Players will have full access to the data collected on them as well, which will be studied by scientists at the University of Michigan to monitor for symptoms. I like the idea of having it as an added layer of safety but again this is also optional so players can choose if they wear it or not. I highly recommend it tho, cause for a lot of players that’s gonna be the only ring that they’ll get when it comes to basketball. Btw, apparently this ring is available to the public so anyone can buy it. The prices range from 300 to 400 dollars depending on the model. Getting back to the NBA however, the teams will actually be allowed to attend other games, so that’s going to be interesting to see them watching and scouting their opponents live. And they can leave Disney with permission from the league during extreme situations like the birth of a child, or an illness to a relative...you get the point. So I guess the only thing left is to wait and see how the rosters are going to look like and if there’s gonna be any high profile player that will decide to skip this once in a lifetime experience. That’s it for now if you liked this video subscribe and hit the notification bell so that you don’t miss my future in depth analysis. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.

Luka got tackled by Kris Dunn last night! But the Lakers responded with some genius plays down the stretch. So, let’s start from the beginning of the city rivals game where Doncic got super busy! Oh Oooh, when he starts pulling up 3’s from way downtown, you know you’re in trouble. And the best thing is, he was just heating up. Heat Check! Luka went crazy in the opening minutes, hitting 5 of 5 from beyond the arc. And he was staring at the Clippers bench after each and every one of them. His hot streak ended on the next possession when he initially got the whistle for 3 free throws, but after the challenge by Ty Lue, the call got overturned. This only added fuel to the fire because… Doncic with the block on Harden on one end and then the tough layup in transition! It was a full display of his arsenal as Luka counted to 24 points in the 1st quarter! Unbelievable! And speaking of that, check this out!Kobe Brown exploded to the rack, putting both Laravia and Kleber on a poster! Despite Luka’s brilliance, the Clippers actually had a 1 point lead after 12 minutes of action. #nba #lukadoncic #lakers
