The Ringer Takes You Inside the NBA Bubble with a Disney Musical Parody

During these crazy times we’re living in, we could all use a laugh and this week, The Ringer delivers. The media network is giving NBA and Disney fans a parody version of what’s going on with the players at Walt Disney World as the basketball season gets ready to resume.

Today, The Ringer decided to take a look at what's happening in the NBA Bubble at the Central Florida resort. The latest contribution to their NBA Desktop series is a Disney Musical set in Walt Disney World that mashes up Disney animated classics with clips of players.

The musical opens up as if we’re listening to a beloved fairy tale that tells of how the NBA came to find a temporary home at the Most Magical Place on Earth. The story is full of negotiations, a relentless virus, player squabbles, unspoken hopes and dreams and so much more!
