NBA players are inside the bubble at Disney World, and as you’d expect, they’re taking to social media to show what life is like.
So far, the food looks like it’s airplane quality (we’ll get to why that’s reportedly changing in a sec), and you have to wonder if players are going to go a little stir crazy despite all the promised entertainment and such.
But let’s start with the food, because that’s what everyone’s been buzzing about since Tuesday night. Denver Nuggets guard Troy Daniels and the Brooklyn Nets’ Chris Chiozza shared some shots of what they got and … it’s not great.

However, as the New York Times’ Marc Stein reported, that’s not going to be their food the entire time they’re in the bubble.
Food in the NBA bubble changes after quarantines are completed. Player meals won't look like airline trays after the first 48 hours …

Orlando Magic vet Evan Fournier gave a tour of his hotel room, and it was nice (meanwhile, the WNBA is working with its players to improve their bubble conditions at the IMG Academy):
