With the NBA on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, players and those around the sport are at a standstill in an attempt to slow down the spread of the outbreak.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the hiatus will last at least 30 days as players are required to stay in their respective markets during. They are also not permitted to participate in group workouts or practices and can only workout individually.

Several players have stayed active on social media during the suspension.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James is busy playing full-time TikTok dad in his spare time while Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Darius Bazley enlisted the help of teammates Chris Paul and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in a TikTok video of his own.

Meanwhile, Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams was busy on Saturday breaking down Space Jam characters during the team’s self-quarantine this weekend. The rookie compared the starting lineup of the Tune Squad to his teammates on the Celtics and it was as only Grant Williams could.

The full breakdown of the lineups:

  • Jaylen Brown: Bugs Bunny
  • Kemba Walker: Michael Jordan
  • Marcus Smart: Tasmanian Devil
  • Jayson Tatum: Lola Bunny
  • Gordon Hayward: Granny
  • Grant Williams: Daffy Duck

Williams has emerged as perhaps the most outgoing player from the 2019 NBA Draft class and is often seen joking around with his teammates. His personality only made his breakdown of the Tune Squad starting lineups that much better.

With the NBA on just the third day of the hiatus, players and others connected to the game will have plenty of time on their hands to fill and Williams did just that on Saturday.
