Stephen A. Smith is back at again with another classic rant.
When the NBA resumes their season inside the Disney Bubble in July players will be without their wives and girlfriends for about a month until the end of the first round of the playoffs.
On Tuesday’s edition of ESPN’s First Take, Stephen A. Smith thinks players are not going to be able to last a month without sex. Smith went on a hilarious rant about players sneaking out of the bubble to get in some “recreational activities” that made everyone on the ‘First Take” set extremely uncomfortable.
What did Stephen A. Smith say?
Stephen A. Smith thinks there’s one thing NBA players will “struggle” within the Bubble atmosphere in Orlando. And he was brutally honest about it.
Talking on First Take, the ESPN journalist said:-
“Do we really think the ‘recreational activities’ that these guys are accustomed to are going to be compromised for three months? I mean, somebody’s gotta say it,” said Smith.
“You really, really think somebody’s gonna be without their wives or their woman? The guys that are married without their wives, the guys that ain’t married without their woman. You really, really think they’re honoring a bubble for three months?” Smith added.

Smith took to twitter to further defend his statement:-
Don’t confuse the issue. I said: players w/ their wives; single players with their girlfriends. You can’t tell players they can’t bring ANYONE — essentially go celibate for a month — and think there will be no violators. Ain’t happening. THAT IS WHAT I’M SAYING. Nothing more. https://t.co/oeyqUPxrjV

Smith was praised for brutal honesty.
What is the protocol for the NBA ‘Bubble’ Restart?
The NBA took out a 100-page precautionary guideline for the restart of play.
According to the guideline, the players cannot be accompanied by their families or friends. After the first round of the playoffs is completed, each of the eight remaining teams will be allowed to reserve between 15 and 17 hotel rooms for player guests. The number of rooms allotted to teams will be equal to the number of players they have on campus. Players will pay for the rooms of their guests.
While six weeks is still a significant sacrifice, the NBPA was made aware the resumption of the 2019-20 NBA season (and the rest of their paychecks) wouldn’t be possible unless they agreed to a compromise.
