Thunder’s Steven Adams’ perspective on the NBA bubble: “This is not Syria.”


The NBA reboot has created a somewhat weird scenario in which much of the league practices, plays, and lives in a safe bubble at Disney World, and that has sparked complaints from some players about the quality of life within the bubble. .

Several players were not happy with the food they received at the beginning of their bubble stay (players were initially quarantined and food was delivered to their rooms) and others, such as Rajon Rondo, were not happy with the quality of the food. hotel room.

We’ve heard complaints about entertainment options, which are restricted for travel, and Jimmy Butler dribbling a basketball too late at night.

However, one player wants to make it clear that these guys are living totally fine in Orlando.

In a discussion with the press on Monday, Steven Adams of the Thunder said that NBA players were fine in the bubble, and had nothing to complain about.

The player, who is from New Zealand, said: Let’s be clear: this is not Syria. It’s not that difficult … We are living in a damn resort. Everyone is going to complain, everyone has their own preferences, nothing too serious. Just a little dry food here and there. “

(Before anyone gets mad about: equating Syria with a bad place, I’m sure Adams is referring to the fact that it is currently a country devastated by war and does not speak ill of the country itself.)

It was Adams’ birthday too, and his celebration plan was perfect:

“Having food” is now the usual way of describing how to eat something. It is law now. Sorry for everyone.
