The strangest items players have brought into the NBA bubble

NBA players are doing their best to make the Orlando bubble feel like home, particularly through the help of online-retail therapy.

A giant couch, full-size refrigerator, and arcade games are just a few of the hot commodities the athletes had shipped to Walt Disney World Resort in the past month.

To accommodate so many deliveries, the NBA has created a giant shipping center in the bubble, which handles and sanitizes 700-1,200 packages per day.  

Let's take a look at some of the reported items — from simple to strange — NBA players either brought or had sent to Orlando.

White tees and limited edition kicks

Clippers star Patrick Beverly was one of the first to embrace bubble life and took to social media to showcase his hotel setup, complete with a stash of white T-shirts.

While Beverly stocked up on clothing, other players focused on their shoe game.

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker allegedly brought 91 pairs of shoes with him to Orlando to outfit his size 14 feet.

Tucker told ESPN’s Nick DePaula that he’s “bought more shoes during the coronavirus than I ever have. ... Probably in my entire life.”

If you think that is excessive, check out these customized Crocs that Troy Daniels received in the mail from KFC, because the league's bubble rules forbid Daniels from accepting a bucket of fried chicken from the fast-food joint.

Wine coolers and booze

KFC may be difficult to bring into the bubble, but adult beverages aren't.

Wine from all over the world has been shipped to players, staff, and reporters, and is one of the most popular deliveries at the shipping center.

J.J. Redick went so far as to call up his wine broker in New York, when he couldn't find any Burgundy on the hotel menu. Redick then hauled in a shipment of the expensive varietal and purchased a wine fridge for his room, so he could keep bottles at an appropriate temperature.

CJ McCollum, Carmelo Anthony, and Kent Bazemore are other wine aficionados who have shown their appreciation for the libation inside the bubble.

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler also made sure the equipment managers were fully refreshed by sending them a refrigerator and cases of beer.

Video, arcade games, and high-end hobbies

Players also need some kind of hobby, with all the downtime they face in the bubble.

Many set up video game systems in their hotel room, while some ordered full-size arcade games, including NBA Jam and Ms. Pac-Man.

Shuffle board, chess, ping pong, and life-size Connect Four are a few other games players are enjoying inside the bubble.

Pacers center Myles Turner brought his own personalized gaming kit, but he is also a fan of old-school board games. In his suitcase, he packed a couple puzzles and Star Wars Legos to help him kill time.

Damian Lillard's free time will be spent on his other career. The Blazers guard/rapper set up a makeshift recording studio in his hotel room, so he can work on new Dame D.O.L.L.A. music before and after practices and games.

Then there are players who simply want to relax when the day is done.

Montrezl Harrell may be doing that best, as the Clippers forward allegedly transported a portable sauna to his room.

Family fan mail

On the more sentimental side, players are also opening special letters and care packages from their family and friends who couldn't travel with them to Orlando.

Jayson Tatum's son Deuce sent him a box filled with photos and a plush toy monkey. Redick got a handwritten note from his son Knox, and Brad Wanamaker received birthday wishes from his children in the mail.

Countless packages have already been sent off to the bubble in the past month, with more sure to come. But the greatest gift may be one that was sent from the NBA's Orlando confines.

Last week, Memphis Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant surprised his mom at home with a brand new Audi A8. He extended the same generosity to his dad earlier this month, when he gifted his father a new Dodge Charger.

While life inside the bubble is less than ideal, players are making the best of it and keeping us entertained on and off the court.
