There aren’t a whole lot of activities to do while stuck in the NBA bubble at Disney World, save for practicing, gaming, checking out the players’ lounge, golfing and complaining about the quarantine food.
But players have found something and a bunch of them are doing it: fishing!
We already saw Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons show off his catch and then struggle to throw it back in the lake. Since then, social media has been filled with photos and videos of players with what they’ve caught or in the middle of snagging a fish.
Here’s a rundown, starting with Simmons:

Two Rockets teammates — Ben McLemore and Robert Covington — did well:

Good job, Luka Doncic!
🇺🇸 Nuggets and Mavs are off today. Doncic spent his day off going fishing, even if he doesn’t like eating fish
