00:00 When the NBA was postponed in March, a lot of players were in a lot of different situations.

00:06 Reggie Jackson on the LA Clippers is an interesting case because he was just traded to the team

00:11 on February 20th.

00:12 Within 19 days, COVID shut the NBA down.

00:16 He didn't even have enough time to buy a place yet.

00:19 And what's kind of comical is he stayed in a hotel room and he lived in a hotel room

00:24 the entire four months of quarantine.

00:27 And because of that, he didn't really get to dribble a ball or do anything.

00:31 And so what he said he did on a conference call with Sports Illustrated was that he dribbled

00:36 in a hotel room, but there was nobody underneath him.

00:38 So he was able to dribble the ball without getting yelled at.

00:42 Now what I think is the most interesting thing that he said on that call was that he played

00:45 basketball in Paul George's second LA home.

00:49 He would just go to Paul George's house when he wasn't home and no one was home and play

00:53 basketball in the backyard.

00:55 And the two of them are practically best friends with each other.

00:58 So it lets you know just the level of camaraderie the two have.

01:02 And I think what will be most fun is once the season is over, you're going to hear all

01:06 these crazy stories about how people played basketball during quarantine because they're

01:11 all technically breaking the rules.

01:13 There have already been stories about like the Lakers playing in a mansion that a fan

01:18 owns.

01:19 And I think as things go on, you're going to hear some really, really funny stories

01:23 similar to Reggie Jackson's.
