Is Disney World a possible destination for the NBA Playoffs?

The NBA has been floating around several different scenarios and the latest has them playing at the Walt Disney World Resort Property in Orlando according to Sham Charania of Stadium and The Athletic.

Why Disney World? Well, it's really not at the amusement park, but Disney's Wide World of Sports venue offers multiple courts and hotels, which is close to the Orlando Magic's facilities.

Las Vegas, Los Angeles and the Bahamas have also been discussed as potential cities for the NBA to play the rest of its season.

Of course, the NBA and other sports need widespread testing, along with increased medical personnel along with as a second training camp for players to get back into game shape.

There's also a business connection as Disney owns ABC and ESPN. So watching an NBA game will probably be a big infomercial for the theme park, hotels, new streaming service, etc.
