Sports World Closing Up Shop Over COVID-19
CORONAVIRUS
COVID-19
Shuts Down the Sports World
Basketball both college and pro lead the way insofar as proactive measures. March Madness is essentially canceled. The NBA, NHL, and MLS, are putting their respective regular seasons on hold. In baseball, Spring Training is suspended effective immediately. For the moment the MLB regular season is being pushed back two weeks. Arena wrestling appears no less safe, and the XFL finally announce the suspension of their regular season.

Brooklyn Nets: Dr. J Makes a House Call
From the desk of: THE HOOPS OF FLATBUSH
Hall of Fame member Julius Erving made his first ever visit to Barclays Center on Friday. The Nets legend more popularly known throughout the basketball universe as Dr. J, upon his pre-game introduction was welcomed by the Flatbush faithful with a rousing standing ovation. After launching his professional career with the Virginia Squires, the Long Island native was traded back home where he would lead the New York Nets in 1974 and 1976 to American Basketball Association championships. After the ABA/NBA merger, Julius Erving would spend his entire NBA career with the Philadelphia 76ers, where in 1981 he won league MVP, and in 1983 captured his third championship title. His #6 was retired by the Sixers, while Dr. J's #32 was retired in 1987 by the New Jersey Nets.
Hosting their former ABA brethren, Caris LeVert leads the Nets in a resounding 139-120 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Coming off a 51-point performance earlier in the week at Boston, Caris LeVert posts his first ever triple-double with a game high 27-points, and a team best ten assists and eleven rebounds. Playing a team high 31-minutes, Caris also registers a game best +18 plus/minus. Joe Harris is next in with twenty points on 9/14 from the floor, and DeAndre Jordan put up a double/double with twelve points and ten rebounds. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot leads the bench with 19-points, shooting 3/5 from beyond the arc and a perfect 6/6 from the line.
The Nets improve to 17-14 at home, and have exactly twenty games remaining on their regular season schedule. Despite a 28-34 record, they remain in seventh place of the conference standings.
Art mural featuring Dr. J is from a car wash and auto detail center formerly located at the corner of Vanderbilt Avenue and Atlantic Avenue. Recently demolished the sight is presently under construction.
