Over the course of the season restart at the Walt Disney World Resort, perhaps no player boosted his off-of-the-court resume than Philadelphia 76ers forward Matisse Thybulle.
Of course, Thybulle debuted his “Welcome to the Bubble” vlog on YouTube during the 76ers’ stay in Orlando, which was a universal success. Thybulle quickly amassed hundreds of thousands of subscribers with some of his videos even garnering over one million views.
As a result, Thybulle was among the players named to the All-Bubble First Team social media award presented by the @NBABubbleLife account on Twitter, which, in its own right, became an overnight sensation by highlighting players’ activity inside of the bubble.
In addition to Thybulle, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley, Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside, Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard and Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic were also named to the All-Bubble First Team.

The five players highlighted on the First Team each emerged as perhaps the most entertaining on social media during the season restart. Bazley, at one point, hilariously started trash-talking teammate Chris Paul during a cornhole tournament, which didn’t end well for the rookie.
Overall, the @NBABubbleLife account on Twitter did a remarkable job of documenting the players’ experiences on social media during the season restart. The account took off when teams first arrived at Disney as fans were curious to see the set up the NBA provided.
With the NBA Finals winding down, the season restart at Disney proved to be a universal success as no players, coaches or staff members tested positive for the coronavirus inside the bubble. Players gave a behind-the-scenes look at the process and it was highly entertaining to watch.
