The easy thing to do now is quit. When things get difficult, and they certainly are at the moment, surrender is an option. It generally is the worst one. It surely is now.The NBA has not played a game since the night of March 11, when four games were contested but agame between theJazz andThunder was canceled because all-star center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus. That was the same day COVID-19 was Kevin Zeitler Jersey  declared a global pandemic. Weve since gone 53 days without a game, with no clear signal as to when the league would resume playing basketball.Whenever that is, however, there is no excuse for contesting any season but the one already underway. Even in the unlikely event teams did not again take the court until 2021, they should do so in order to Saquon Barkley Jersey  complete the 2019-20 season.MORE:Some league executives and agents, according to CNBC, are pushing for the league to cancel what remains of the suspended season and instead focus on a succe sful launch to the 2020-21 season. This is the worst po sible approach, and the reasoning being posited for cancellation is proof.Why call off this season?Money, of course.CNBC reports some teams believe the revenue available B.J. Hill Jersey  if games were contested and some media rights recovered isn't sufficient to justify resumption of the season. One surmises not everyone in the league would agree with this. CNBC also cited one player agent who said he is surprised NBA commi sioner Adam Sliver hasnt canceled because he always errs on the side of caution and doing what's right."MORE: Late last month, the top soccer leagues in the Netherlands and France canceled their soccer seasons for 2019-20. Whereas the Dutch did not proclaim an Eredivisie champion and simply called off the year, the French proclaimed Paris-Saint Germain as title winners with PSG owning a 12-point lead  Jon Halapio Jersey over second-place Marseilles.Although the French approach is superior, neither got it right. The best way to deal with an incomplete competition is to complete it, even if that means intruding on the subsequent event.Who would care, really, about a November game between the Kings and Suns in the aftermath of a season that was completely abandoned? If that is how long we would need to wait for competitive  Phil Simms Jersey sport to resume, it should return with the importance of a playoff run or series involving such teams as the Lakers, Bucks, Clippers and reigning champion Raptors. Reports out of the NHL have suggested the league would be amenable to delaying the start of next season to accommodate the conclusion of this one. This is the proper approach in which Wayne Gallman Jersey  is an unprecedented circumstance for everyone.Certainly, these leagues are busine ses, but the product they are selling is meaningful athletic competition. If one were to visit a restaurant no, wait, lets stick with things we can all remember doing. If one were to order takeout from a restaurant and, upon arriving home, discover the meal to be half-cooked, there would be no urgency to order again from that establishment.The NBA and NHL in particular have asked their customers to invest emotion (to say nothing of money spent) into the 2019-20 season. Each has produced wonderful moments, from for the Blazers against the Warriors on Martin Luther King Day to past the Mark Bavaro Jersey  Capitals a week before the shutdown.What the Bucks accomplished in winning 53 of their first 65 games, what LeBron James has done in reinvigorating the Lakers, what David Pastrnak has done in driving the Bruins forward to 100 points in 70 games all of this should not be discarded as if it were a used Clorox wipe.It is not clear when either will be able to play again, although signs are brighter including the NBA permittingsome practice facilities to reopen that it may be po sible at some point in the summer. If that occurs, there wont be any Janoris Jenkins Jersey  question what season theyll be contesting.Even if they must return later, though, it is most important to finish what they started.
