These Players Have the Biggest Feet in the NBA

NBA Playoffs are finally here after what feels like a long summer devoid of sports. The first round of 2020 NBA playoffs began Monday inside the league’s “bubble” at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The postseason is expected to end no later than Oct. 13, as long as the teams continue to avoid a COVID-19 outbreak within the NBA campus.
