Chris Paul-centric look back to COVID-19’s unexpected impact on sports
As “The Day Sports Stood Still” (2021 release; 85 min.) opens, we get a slick montage of memorable moments in sports, celebrated by the masses of course. We then go to “May 1, 2020” and NBA superstar Chris Paul talks about how much he is missing the game and the fans. We then go to “Oklahoma City, March 11, 2020, 6:20 PM Eastern”, as the Thunder and Jazz are doing their pre-game warm-ups, and before we know it, the game is postponed (it turns out a Jazz player had tested positive for COVID). At this point we are 10 min. Into the documentary.

Couple of comments: this documentary is produced and directed by Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”), but to be honest, it feels much more like a Chris Paul labor of love. Not only does he star (as both the NBA superstar he is, but also as the President of the NBA Players Association), but he also executive-produces. The documentary’s title is a bit misleading. Yes, of course, we get a close look what all transpired on March 11 and 12, 2020, when all sports shut down. But the documentary really comes into its own when 2 1/2 months later, the country is rocked by/comes to grasp with the George Floyd murder by a white police officer, prompting many sports (led by the NBA, let’s be honest) to start protesting for social justice and much needed reforms. The documentary’s tone is so(m)ber throughout, and seeing some of the scenes of all of this now a year later, remains profoundly moving and shocking. In a sense, this movie really highlights the unexpected impact of COVID-19 on sports, resulting from the social unrest rocking the country in the Spring and Summer of 2020. Kudos to Chris Paul for sharing intimate home videos. Watch how his son reacts when CP informs him that his COVID test cam back negative…

“The Day Sports Stood Still” premiered on HBO a few months ago and is now available on HBO On Demand (where I caught it), HBO Max, Amazon Instant Video and other streaming services. If you have any interest in sports, or simply in the bigger picture issues of how COVID-19 and social unrest rocked US society in 2020 like it hadn’t in decades, I’d readily suggest you check this out and draw your own conclusion.

Talk about entitlement.
Watching paint dry under water was a much more fulfilling experience.
