The pandemic marked a significant paradigm shift in the field of all sports. NBA was no exception, as they had to conduct a part of the 2019/20 season behind closed doors inside a bio-bubble. A 2020 NBA champion tagged that championship win as the toughest, despite beating LeBron James and Stephen Curry in previous championships.

The three-time champion had beaten LeBron’s Miami Heat and Curry’s Golden State Warriors on previous occasions. Still, he considered his latest one the hardest championship win ever.

In a recent episode of No Chill with Gilbert Arenas, Danny Green talked about his experience from the bubble championship. The former San Antonio Spurs star said, “I always tell everybody it was the hardest one, by far,”?while explaining the challenges behind closed doors. He then also mentioned how staying at the same place for nearly 100 days put a mental and emotional strain on him.

From not getting to see the family, to playing games without proper rest, everything started to take a toll on him. “I started getting vertigo,” he stated, to highlight the complications that arose with time. He hated the concept of the bio-bubble and its side-effects on a player’s overall mental and physical well-being.
