This is the best of the Doug Gottlieb show on Fox Sports Radio.

Today, the big story so far this morning has been nine more players in the NBA have tested positive for COVID-19.

This puts the number of players at 25, which is a small number when you think about the number of NBA players.

Okay, well, it's 15 out of you're over 300.

But really when one person has it, they're around a team, that gets to two and that

gets to three. So the NBA is trying to take care of this. At the same time, Demar de Rosen

of the Spurs talked about the frustration and the overwhelming rules about what life is going to be

like in the Orlando bubble. Now, as MLB teams report, we're looking at okay, when the NBA winds up getting things together, how they're going to go. And I get that there's a lot of crazy things in the bubble. I mean, just the rule about you can play cards with a deck and then throw it away. It's like Vegas. You know, we play one hand through of blackjack and then we're going to get rid of the cards. We throw the cards away. Don't you want to be the sponsor for that? Because the number of times it passes through the player's hands over the course of a month, they'll be loyal to you for life just because they think they have to be. Yeah, these cards were held by J.R. Smith, then he dropped all of them. And so these can be yours.

So I get the great one.

Collectors from the bubble. The ping pong rules are insane. And this is something DeMar Rosen talked about that, oh, we can bang bodies against each other, but we can't play two-on-two ping-pong. We can't be close to each other. I get the minutia of it. and I understand that players are, oh my God, this is really insane.

But you got to seem like you're on top of things. You can't have a two-piece, two-page leaflets saying, yeah, we got it. Oh, that's great. That's going to inspire me with confidence. I'd rather be inundated with the minutia. It says game on. What does that mean? What does page two say? Nothing. It just says Adam Silver, Commissioner with a big autograph. That's all you have. So I get the minutia of it, and I understand that. And this is coming from me, who honestly, I am now a bubble convert. Because, as you know, I have never been a fan of the bubble i i tried man i tried to lay

hands on you in the whole nine yards i get well you can't do that i'm not supposed to do that i'd

have to call somebody well as part of the conversion process here's how i'm converting you uh like when

bill gates was buying out homer the simpsons buy them out boys they just destroy everything
