Mayor de Blasio Says Shooting Hoops Is Fine But No Pick Up Basketball Games During Coronavirus Pandemic – Be Warned Roosevelt Island Basketball Players To Keep Your Social Distance And No Pick Up Games

Social distancing is taking hold with New Yorkers but we’re seeing some issues when it comes to basketball courts. If you want to go shoot hoops with your kids, that’s fine.

But we can’t have pick-up games. If people dont follow the rules, well take hoops down.

A Roosevelt Island Tipster sends in these photos of a basketball game at Roosevelt Island Sportspark court and reports:

They were playing together with the same ball.

Yes, it’s a beautiful day, but

by now everyone should know how to behave in this situation.

Another resident adds:

Theyre all sweating on that ball and each other! This is not Social Distancing
