In the absence of that, I am happy to play solo, but I don't think there is any comparison.
Nobody is accustomed to play in front of an empty stadium.
Playing and fun are not the same thing, though when we grow up we may forget that and find ourselves mixing up playing with happiness. There can be a kind of amnesia about the seriousness of playing, especially when we played by ourselves.
No one stopped me from playing when I was alone, but there were times when I wasn't able to, though I wanted to... There were times when nothing played back. Writers call it 'writer's block.' For kids there are other names for that feeling, though kids don't usually know them.
It's just hard to watch isolation basketball.
I play in a lot of empty rooms.
Playing in an empty stadium won't faze me at all.
Playing on the Clippers, that was the first time I really felt like I was like on an island by myself.
I was the youngest of three brothers by five years, so I spent most of my childhood playing alone, being Zorro or some other superhero, doing Lego, watching telly and riding my bike.
I've played as a lone striker and enjoyed it, especially if you have good supporting players around you. But a full season by myself? That would be hard.
No, I do it all, but I do love to play solo.
