NBA to approve plan for 22-team return with eight regular-season games

Nearly three months after the NBA suspended operations indefinitely due to the Coronavirus, the league now has a plan that would resume the season before jumping into the NBA Playoffs. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the NBA plans to propose a 22-team format that could see the season resume on July 31 at Walt Disney World in Orlando.

The play-in format requires a double-elimination format for the 8th seed, a single-elimination for the 9th seed, per sources.

The play-in format requires a double-elimination format for the 8th seed, a single-elimination for the 9th seed, per sources.

The 22-team format would welcome back the 16 teams currently eligible for the playoffs, along with six additional teams to compete for playoff seedings. The New Orleans Pelicans, Portland Trail Blazers, Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs will all get a chance to keep their season alive out of the Western Conference. There are still some elements of the restart plan that could be changed, and other matters are being negotiated — such as how much of a percentage of their contracts that players will lose because some regular season games will be canceled.

Hyperice Unveils Power Tool-Shaped High-Intensity Massager
 

Vyper 2.0.

Hyperice, the maker of a vibrating roller used by professional athletes, announced a new massaging device for muscle release that’s targeted for the general population.

Two-and-a-half years after launching the original Vyper roller for elite athletes on Kickstarter and eight months after unveiling the Vyper 2.0, Hyperice released a new product Monday called Hypervolt that looks like a power drill. The Hypervolt, which clocks in as one of Hyperice’s most expensive products, retails for $349, versus $199 for the Vyper 2.0.

The hand-held device weighs 2.5 pounds and features a powerful high-torque motor that’s powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which Hyperice says makes it the first-ever high intensity muscle vibrator that’s accessible to all consumers.

ESPN's Michael Jordan documentary "The Last Dance" is here.
 

The Last Dance

“The 10-part documentary series takes an in-depth look at the the Chicago Bulls' dynasty through the lens of the final championship season in 1997-98. The Bulls allowed an NBA Entertainment crew to follow the team around for that entire season, and some of that never-before-seen footage will be featured in the documentary.” - ESPN

The full episodic documentary will air on ESPN in the U.S. and on Netflix outside of the U.S.

The legend of MJ and the Bulls

Jordan had already become arguably the world's most recognizable athlete by the Bulls' third title. For all the championships and success with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson, there was a feeling among many in the organization that the good times had run their course.

jason Hehir's account of the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls'

Directed by Jason Hehir, whose previous projects include multiple editions of ESPN’s long-running “30 for 30” series, “The Last Dance” is less an investigation of a sports dynasty’s last flames and more the chronicle of how improbable its survival always was. The goal seems to be to make a definitive account of what that season meant for all involved, regardless of how some of the empirical facts may have changed in the two decades since. Part of that comes across in footage of practice and team travel, largely filmed by a camera crew that was embedded with the Bulls for the season. (Filmed as part of a planned documentary about the team, much of this footage has been effectively stashed away in the league archives.) 

Michael-Jordan-1988.jpg

Beyond the sportswriters and reporters

“The Last Dance” is essentially asking the audience to be Jordan’s teammate through this ride. You see how his overbearing competitive drive leads to ticks in the win column, and also strains individual relationships along the way. “The Last Dance” isn’t necessarily an evidence-gathering operation, but as the series goes on, the input from teammates, coaches, and members of the Jordan inner circle all seem to ask whether the outcome of June 1998 was worth all the turmoil. For many viewers lifted by the way “The Last Dance” captures the sweep of history, the likely answer will be “yes.”
