Battling The Bad.....

So the Quarantine has been going on for over a Month now and well I never thought this Corona Virus would spread from the Asia area of China and Japan and the Olympics were in Jeopardy and was facing concerns due to the area being faced with the Covid 19. The Fact that it even escalated and even being Spread through the world never mind the US. A lot of events have been postponed and even big sport seasons that have been put on hold especially the 2019-20 NBA season especially one of the most exciting seasons and now the NBA season is in serious question. The MLB and NHL has also been in serious question as well so The Bright side of the Quarantine well alongside talk shows still running during the Quarantine time of Covid-19.


Why I named the title "Battling The Bad...."

Well during the Quarantine and the Suspended NBA Season: We had the well interesting Journey NBA Season documentary called "The Last Dance" about the 1998 NBA Season Of the Chicago Bulls, and the name "The Last Dance" has a strong word to it which explains the final title run with the contending Chicago Bulls Clan especially with Phil Jackson as the leading Coach who helped the team be put in the title run. It has been one of the most memorable sport documentaries and real time filler on a weekly basis during the suspended season, and it was been well watched. So there was an episode in the show "The Last Dance" where the Bulls had one of the toughest playoff adversary before the championship run. The adversary which is the Detroit Pistons aka "The Bad Boys" and they commented their name due to their rough play and physical aggression and physical defense the big question was challenge is How did The Bulls respond?

The Bulls vs. "The Bad Boy" Pistons 

So the Bulls made their playoff appearance in the mid 80s and during their consecutive playoff run and even Eastern Conference Finals and were one round away from the NBA Finals Appearance, and unfortunately they had the biggest challenge standing in their way of that which indeed was the Detroit Pistons and they end up falling short again not just because they are the better team but because of their aggressive play and tough, physical defense. The Pistons were a tough team to get through as they kept getting eliminated by this team as a distribution to the Bulls' playoff heartbreak however Michael Jordan looked at it as an opportunity to say you know what we got next year in a nutshell.

How did the Bulls Battle Back against "The Bad Boy" Pistons?

The Bulls fight on their way back to the Eastern Conference and they end up running into the same Adversary, and apparently The Pistons were completely no different than how they were the last time they faced the Bulls and even eliminated them. As they were the same physically aggressive, gritty smothering defense, and even the physical play is what got to the Bulls last year arguing for fouls at officials last year. But in the year he faced them again, Michael Jordan encourage the team to respond to their physical aggression by you know what don't get emotional,don't let the team get inside your head, don't argue with refs show toughness show resilience and just fight back. And then low and behold it pays off they were a lot stronger and responded with the equal toughness the Pistons were displaying as well. The rebound from a tough loss against the Pistons did came from hard work and intense training to be ready to fight back. As Michael Jordan came intense, and even Scottie Pippen showed no emotional response after that severe foul that made him fall on the floor hard. It really helped them and the rest of the team get past the Eastern Conference Finals and then advance to the Finals and overcome The LA Lakers to win their first NBA Championship.

How does this whole thing to connect to our Circumstances?

Well The Pandemic has been tough for a lot of people and even for me but I managed to do stuff at home and keep myself occupied. The Quarantine has been the reverse for me it has kept me more grounded and more down to Earth and understand everything and everyone's daily life has been put on a pause especially to a serious situation. The NBA Season has been put on hold and even NHL, NFL, and MLB season that has yet to premiere. Well how ESPN and other networks have been battling the bad and the depression on during the absence of all the NBA season and activities well they go from doing a video game tournament to doing HORSE challenges and even Documentaries and movie nights and they have managed to have shows through Quarantines thanks to updated technologies. For us showing toughness to these situations and making the most of wearing gloves and mask and on  and getting what you need done. One of my friends work as a nurse and being there for 12 hours treating patients who had Covid-19 and many other sickness alongside that as well. Once the case goes down or even eliminates eventually it will be many thanks to all the essential medical workers. For the non essential workers facing unemployment well I will say this we have so much to get done we never usually get done and it takes perseverance like I need to face where I can always exercise and even like how I am blogging right now and even getting so much more time with family like the pro athletes who are away from their game to game activities and practice. Making sure we stay healthy away from people and doing whatever we can to keep ourselves moving and healthy during these tough times can really help us and on top of understanding the importance of Quarantine and even the benefits and battling the "Bad Boy" Corona Virus and Unemployment and other Challenges of isolation by responding with toughness and faith and confidence will really help and come a long way in the after math. Especially in many other Bad Circumstances that can be your "Bad Boys".
