Bill & Ted Face The Music Official Trailer
About 6 months ago, we had the first look at Bill & Ted Face The Music via some photos that surfaced thanks to Entertainment Weekly.
Today we finally got the first trailer to Bill & Ted 3 aka Bill & Ted Face The Music.
Bill & Ted Face the Music will see the duo long past their days as time-traveling teenagers and now weighed down by middle age and the responsibilities of family. They’ve written thousands of tunes, but they have yet to write a good one, much less the greatest song ever written. With the fabric of time and space tearing around them, a visitor from the future warns our heroes that only their song can save life as we know it. Out of luck and fresh out of inspiration, Bill and Ted set out on a time travel adventure to seek the song that will set their world right and bring harmony in the universe as we know it. Together with the aid of their daughters, a new crop of historical figures, and some sympathetic music legends, they find much, much more than just a song.
Bill & Ted Face The Music is due to hit cinemas on 27th August 2020

NBA is BACK on the 31st of July
This is the one sporting code we have been waiting for to return since the COVID-19 pandemic took over the world, and now it appears we have a date and also what to expect when the NBA returns to the court. This date would be July 31st. 4 and a half months after the league was suspended due to coronavirus.
The NBA’s board of governors intends to approve a league proposal on a 22 team format to restart the season in Orlando, Florida. Commissioner Adam Silver and the league’s advisory/finance committee have shared the broad details of a plan with the teams to play at the Walt Disney Resort. The plan includes 13 Western Conference teams and 9 Eastern Conference teams. The game format would consist of 8 regular season games, a possible play-in tournament for the 8th seed and playoffs.
The top 16 teams across the league will also be joined by teams currently within 6 games of 8th place in each conference. This will allow New Orleans Pelicans, Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns & Washington Wizards to compete for the 8th spot.
The play-in tournament will include the 8th & 9th teams, if the 9th seed finishes the regular season within 4 games of 8th. In that case, the 8th seed enters a double-elimination tournament & the 9th seed a single-elimination tournament.
The NBA & NBA Players Association are negotiating details of the return to play’s safety protocols and competition as we speak. Life in the NBA bubble will be governed by a set of strict safety protocols. While players and coaches will be allowed to golf or eat at outdoor restaurants, they would also need to maintain social distancing guidelines. The NBA is planning on having uniform daily testing for coronavirus within the disney campus environment.

Wilson to become official ball of NBA
Wilson is set to become the official ball of the NBA, WNBA, NBA G-League, NBA 2K League & Basketball Africa League from the 2020-21 season taking over from Spalding who has been the offical ball for more then 30 years.
The NBA Wilson ball will be used during the NBA’s 75th anniversary season. “This partnership with Wilson returns us to our roots as we plan for the future” Salvatore LaRocca, NBA President, Global Partnerships. “The NBA were partners for 37 seasons dating back to when Wilson manfactured the first official NBA basketballs in 1946, and we look forward to growing the game of basketball together”
Wilson will manufacture the NBA, WNBA and NBA G League game balls using the same materials, eight-panel configuration and performance specifications as current game balls and will also source the same leather currently used in the NBA. The NBA and its players will work jointly with Wilson to develop and approve the new game ball.
The finanical terms of the NBA’s partnership with Wilson were not disclosed.
The end of the NBA’s partnership with Spalding comes as bit of a surprise. Spalding began making the basketballs exclusively for the NBA starting in 1983. After 30 years using leather balls, the company switched to synthetic version of the balls in 2006, only to suffer backlash. Spalding then sought feedback from players before making another switch.
What are your thoughts on this? Will you run out and buy a new ball for your home/social games?
