Much has been made about the current living conditions of NBA players inside the Disney World bubble. For his part, however, Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers decided to take a not-so-veiled shot at LeBron James for the special treatment the Los Angeles Lakers superstar is supposedly receiving.
Rivers did a quick Instagram Live feed on Tuesday, and he gave the public a preview of where LeBron James was staying inside the bubble.
LeBron's crib in the bubble is HUGE.

Rivers was obviously kidding, but there's no denying that in his mind, he believes that the league is giving their poster boy some special treatment. Are we feeling a bit bitter there, Austin?
All jokes aside, though, its not as if the players are staying in beaten up motel rooms. All teams have actually been assigned to world-class hotels inside the Disney World complex, and there's really nothing to complain about.
Perhaps some guys are just feeling a bit confined within their rooms, given how they're all asked to minimize contact from each other as much as possible. Their individual hotel rooms might be a far cry from the living standards some of them have gotten used to inside their multi-million dollar mansions, but again, they're still living rather comfortably.
Admittedly the situation is not ideal, and it's certainly not something the players have gotten used to. Then again, we are all living in unprecedented times, so some adjustment will be required from the players as well. After all, it's for their own safety and well-being anyway.
