The NBA has resumed play, with all games staged at a neutral site on the campus of Walt Disney World. But this hardly the first time that regular season or playoff games have been played at secondary sites, and here are nine notable examples where the home team was actually far from home.

Black Lives Matter

Programming note: With the NBA return on July 31 now official, we will be taking a brief summer break from now until the first week of August. We will run lists from the first week of August through the second week of October to coincide with the conclusion of the '19-'20 season and the 2020 NBA Draft. We will take another brief break from mid-October to early December, at which point we'll return with the 2020 edition of our top 500 players of all-time, then continue on in January with regularly scheduled programming.

As protests expand across the U.S. and the world, and the Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police movements gain steam, we take a look at several NBA players that are especially notable for their commitment to social justice and activism.

With the NBA season on indefinite hold, we'll take the month of April to celebrate the life and career of Kobe Bryant, who passed away earlier this year.

With summer movie season upon us and LeBron James prepping to film the long-awaited Space Jam 2, we take a look back at 21 of the most prominent examples

Over the hill and on the court

By suiting up for the '18-'19 season at age 40, Dirk Nowitzki joined a diverse and illustrious group of players that kept at it in the NBA into middle age.
