NBA player ordered a full-sized fridge to Orlando bubble
NBA players have placed some interesting orders while inside the bubble at Walt Disney World.
Rachel Nichols paid a visit to the bubble's shipping facility as part of a segment for ESPN's "The Jump" and learned about the strange items that have arrived for players, including a full-sized refrigerator.
"Normal-sized refrigerator where basically they crush ice on the other side and you got the freezer at the bottom," one of the employees told Nichols.
A full-size fridge (with ice-maker), a couch, arcade games, boxing equipment, hundreds of thousands of dollars in Amazon orders...NBA teams & players have had ALLLLL kinds of things shipped into them in the Bubble.

As Nichols noted, Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem has already spent $5,000 on deliveries from Amazon. Another player also ordered a punching bag for their hotel room.
The New York Times' Marc Stein reported Saturday that more than 1,000 packages are arriving daily at the delivery hub, so the employees there certainly have their hands full.
