NBA could move 2020/21 start date up because Disney “badly wants” games on
Christmas Day
聯盟可能因為迪士尼"非常想要"聖誕節那天有比賽，所以把20-21賽季提前開始

The NBA is reportedly keen on starting next season on December 22 following
suggestions the 2020/21 campaign could begin sometime in January or February.據報導聯盟可能把下一季開季放在12/22，之前的消息是說原本開季可能會在1月或2月。

The latest proposed date came as a surprise to many and, according to Marc
Stein of the New York Times (H/T Uproxx.com), ESPN’s desire to air games on
Christmas Day, as they would traditionally, could be why the league is
looking to move the date up.
而最近的這個消息嚇到了很多人，而根據紐時記者Marc Stein的報導，因為ESPN的傳統要在聖誕節轉播球賽的意圖可能是導致聯盟把開季時間提前的原因。

“Disney, which owns ESPN and has been described by Silver as the league’s
biggest partner, badly wants to continue that Christmas tradition and have
five games to televise on either ABC or ESPN. Turner, the N.B.A.’s other
primary broadcast partner, would get its traditional opening night
doubleheader on a Tuesday if the union agrees to the Dec. 22 proposal. The
league, for its part, has informed the union that it projects a difference of$500 million in revenue if it can start the season in December rather than
mid-January.”
「聯盟主席Silver把擁有ESPN的迪士尼描繪成聯盟最大的夥伴，他們想要延續他們的聖誕節傳統，想要那天在ABC或者ESPN頻道上轉播5場比賽。而若是球員工會同意這項提議的
話，聯盟另外一個轉播夥伴Turner電視網則是想要在開季的12/22那天轉播兩場比賽。而聯盟自己則是跟工會說，開季在12月或是1月中，推估收入兩者會差到5億鎂。」

$500 billion is a figure which would represent an incentive to do just about
anything. It would be hard to imagine the NBA letting that go but there are alot of things which need working out, more importantly: player and fan safety.5億鎂這個數字會讓人有動機去做任何事，很難想像聯盟會讓這機會就這樣跑走。但是目前還有很多事情得要先處理，更重要的是：球員跟粉絲的安全。

Another trip to the bubble already seems like it’s out of the question for
several stars. Anthony Davis doesn’t want to see Disney World for another
two years after being among the last set of persons to leave.
再次去泡泡圈打球在近幾年內是不可能再來的了，湖人Anthony Davis是最後離開泡泡圈的幾組人馬之一，他自己是在這兩年內是不想再看到迪士尼世界的。
