It is locked on NBA Thursday at issue. That means that I am joined by the author. Yes, that's what we call him now. We've called him many other names. At some point we even argued enough. I might have called him a bad name but now we refer to him as the

author Ben Goliver you're writing a book my friend what's the story I am

writing a book it's called bubble ball people can pre-order it on Barnes and Noble there's a link on my

Twitter page I mean look it's just going to be my life down here in Orlando you know I'm spending

basically three months covering the NBA restart been down here you know since July and as you know we were kind of covering it every step of the way blow by blow in the month leading up to it so it'll be a little bit about my journey,

a little bit about how the NBA put this thing together,

why it's been successful so far.

And then, of course, it's going to be a look at the 2020 title

chase, which gets more and more interesting by the day so it'll be a little bit of everything but I'm excited to write it

It'll be coming out in May 2021 but people can get in early now if they'd like Another week of positive tests they're awfully

close to closing out phase one of this pure bubble phase one as a roaring

success and then the question's going to be whether or not

phase two which involves family and friends coming in can hold to this level of

a standard.

Yeah I think you're going to have some question about how many of those people do want to really come in though.

You know, you don't know necessarily how long your team or your player, if you're a family member is going to be staying, so that could lead some people to say oh well you know I maybe not you

know let's just wait this thing out I think ultimately like phase one was easily the

toughest face I think actually onboarding everybody down here was the trickiest part.

They've had great momentum with the zero positive test.

I mean, it's just been basically a month with no flaws whatsoever.

I think the biggest challenge right now that you hear the leadership people down here talking about is just protecting against the false sense of security making sure everybody sticks to the guidelines.

But I think everyone's internalized the rules.
