So? Who are they to make financial or health decisions for the league? If they don’t want to play basketball for the NBA there are some other leagues around the world. They don’t seem to be upset that they’re risking COVID for their salaries.
It’s like when regular employees at a company think that they can make better company decisions than executives. It’s just a major disconnect between what the players play for (their salary and championships) and what the NBA actually is (a business). “I just want to win titles, get a lot of money, not answer to the media, not play anything extra.”
Someone that is paid a lot of money has come to the analysis that the all star game is worth any additional health risk, and the NBAPA and League have agreed... and no one knows the protocols yet.
I’m not sure what else there is to comment here.
