INSIDE THE NBA BUBBLE A Championship Season Under Quarantine

With this audiobook, the listener will gain an understanding of how the NBA responded to the coronavirus pandemic. Author/narrator Jared Dudley views the tumultuous season from his vantage point as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, who won the championship. The year began with the tragic death of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, as well as protests over the deaths of George Floyd and other African-Americans. Dudley is not a polished narrator, but his deep voice and clear diction resonate in this concise work. His opinions remind us that athletes are human; wonderful anecdotes cover the bonding that teammates strived for in their bubble. His voice is as real as his thoughts about the pandemic's emotional impact. M.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2021]
