Basketball fans in the United States and around the world have seen the NBA championship, but also most national championships, be canceled due to the pandemic caused by the coronation. Many athletes have tested positive for COVID-19, and pitches are nowhere to be found.
In the endless days and nights that we are forced to stay indoors, obeying the orders of the authorities for social distance and the prohibition of unnecessary travel, there is time to indulge in our favorite activities, without pressure from our daily obligations.
