A single-sitting, page-turning, behind-the-scenes account of the NBA lockdown at Disney World by Jared Dudley of the world champion Los Angeles Lakers.
Omens in China. The tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna. A novel coronavirus and the protests honoring George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. For Jared Dudley and the Los Angeles Lakers, the suspended 2019–2020 NBA season was, from the beginning, about more than winning basketball games. But what now?
This is the year of the Bubble, a vacated Disney World, and the nearly one hundred days that 350 players and personnel from twenty-two NBA teams isolated from their friends and family, testing their patience for a dorm-style solution to America’s lost pandemic sports season—but also inspiring them. In a country violently divided by more than COVID-19, the Lakers rise to the occasion. From initial quarantine to the best basketball ever played by LeBron James and Anthony Davis to transitioning again to the real world, Jared Dudley shares his winning memories of a personal and professional victory from inside the NBA Bubble.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first of many but what a high bar set!
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2021
This is the first book describing the Bubble experience and how insightful it was. I am confident that there will be movies, tv shows and tens of books on the 4 month experience at Disney. Mr. Dudley has the unique perspective of being a 13+ yr vet and a member of the Bubble Champion Lakers which is so insightful. The book is a short read which leaves you wanting more but also has a fulfilling sense to it making you see the privilege to be included in their journey.
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice account of a very trying period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2021
Any fan of basketball, whether a supporter of the Los Angeles Lakers or not will find this account of the recently imposed “Bubble” experience by the teams who competed for the 2019-2020 World Championship (won by the Lakers).
For those who are conflicted about whether that championship was easier or harder than the other non-bubble championships, this is a chance for you to experience one player’s agony and thrill as told by Jared Dudley and Carvell Wallace.
3.0 out of 5 stars “Inside look at life in the NBA bubble”
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023
A very short quick read. I didn’t realise how short it was, it is supposed to be about one member of the Lakers experience in the bubble. Unfortunately, due to the length, it is a very superficial look.. would have loved a longer version, giving more details about life in the bubble as well as the games themselves.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Players perspective on an unreal NBA Season.
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2021
From that flight back from Philly on the morning of January 26th to raising the Championship trophy the night of October 11th – see through the lens of a true NBA Veteran as Jared Dudley gives an excellent and insightful description of the 2020 Lakers team experience. Many interesting details from "off the court" that put into perspective the emotional toll of many involved in the game and what it took to make this season happen.
5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read For all Lakers Fans
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2021
Reading how it really was in the bubble is not only interesting but shows how the team gelled. How they focused on that goal even before the bubble. I love that LeBron James had his own hyperbaric chamber with him the bubble! No wonder he is going strong and keeps on keeping on. He is breathing great oxygen every night while the rest of us are breathing 21% in our air. Plus he heals so much faster In that chamber. Good book, wish it was longer.

Laker fan & Dudley fan as well! I could almost feel what the players were going through in the Bubble & how they were completely immersed in an out of reality experience for almost 100 days!! This book is well written & keeps you wanting to get to the next sentence, next paragraph, next page & next chapter!!!
