Many sporting events have recently been decided before empty stands.
So it can even be in the world's best basketball league, NBA. The news agency AP reports that the league wants the team to prepare for matches without spectators, if the spread of the corona virus is gaining momentum in North America as well. But that's not what mega star LeBron James is thinking about.
- Should we play matches without fans? No, it's not possible. I don't play if I don't have fans in the audience. These are the ones I play for. I play for my teammates and I play for the fans. That's what it's all about. So if I come to an arena and there are no fans there, then I don't play, he said after the Los Angeles Lakers victory against series-leading Milwaukee Bucks.
