It seems that Los Angeles Laker LeBron James isn’t down for playing basketball behind closed doors.

Following the lead of Italy’s Serie: A soccer league and other sports organizations, the NBA on Friday reportedly told its teams to prepare to play games without fans in a bid to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The virus has killed at least 17 people in the U.S. as of writing this article.

James told reporters after the Lakers’ 113-103 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks at the Staples Center. “Play games without the fans? No. That’s impossible. I ain’t playing.”

“I ain’t got the fans in the crowd. That’s who I play for,” James continued. “I play for my teammates. I play for the fans. That’s what it’s all about. If I show up to an arena and there are no fans in there, I ain’t playing. They can do what they want to do.”

LeBron James addresses the #NBA issuing a memo on the possibility of playing games without fans in the arena.

James’ comments came just hours after the worldwide tally for infections passed the 100,000 figure. U.S. federal health officials insist, however, that the immediate health risk to the general public remains low.
