Introducing the NBA Bubble’s All-Redemption Starting Five

Since the NBA bubble resumed its 2019-2020 campaign, a number of players have had a chance to set the record straight and prove the doubters wrong.

The NBA bubble’s quarantine finish to this season hasn’t been uneventful. Fans have been treated to a number of basketball games on a day-to-day basis, with players showing out left and right.

We’ve seen the Memphis Grizzlies absolutely self-implode, while the Phoenix Suns unironically rose even stronger from the ashes of their disappointing regular season and went undefeated.

The San Antonio Spurs have been eliminated from the playoffs for the first time in 22 years, while the Washington Wizards played up to expectation without their two best players in Bradley Beal and Davis Bertans, albeit catching one win over a depleted Boston Celtics team.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks remain the favorite out East, while the Toronto Raptors have been everything they were last season; even without Kawhi Leonard.

In the Eastern Conference, things are less exciting, but the Western Conference is preparing for the NBA’s first play-in tournament for the rightful claim to the eighth seed. Any of the Suns, Spurs, or Portland Trail Blazers could end up facing the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers.

All the drama aside, the NBA’s really pulled off their isolated, quarantine finish to the year. And the players, well a lot of them are rewriting their own narratives inside “the bubble.” So we decided to put together a five-man lineup of guys who’ve redeemed themselves in Orlando.

Let’s take a look.
