This is good. Might even feel more real than having real fans because you can see them more up and personal. This is the same thing as having real fans because it's in real time. It's just that they are in their homes. It's similar to Zoom. There will be 300 fans.

I like this idea better than cut out fans, made out of cardboard. And it's certainly better than having fake virtual fans. These are real people in real time.

Beats looking at an empty arena. I think this is the perfect replacement. Heck, they could do this for concerts.

Eh, the look of the scrimmages was just fine. Purity of the game.

A gimmick like that is distractive.

Not really a gimmick though since these are real people in real time.

Also, now there can be a home court advantage and the players can signal to their fans and do the shimmies!

I figured they might do this. You just know those fans will be over the top trying to become overnight celebrities. Be nice if it were 300 groups so you could simulate the sound of a crowd better but someone would accuse the nba of encouraging people not to social distance.

I wonder if we css as n hear the fans too. This is better than just adding fake fans.

Would be cool to have a TON of virtual video fan faces, like thousands at a time. Like a regular crowd.

But even a small amount is cool too.
