When Adam Himmelsbach started covering the Celtics, his mom wondered how NBA writers handled dating. “I said, like, ‘Mom, in a weird way it almost feels like they’re married to the NBA.’ … She’s like, ‘You’re not going to marry the NBA, are you?’ ”
Covering the NBA is normally a lot of work, which means there's not much time for dating. But now that the season is suspended? "Yeah, I was a columnist and kind of investigative reporter at the Louisville Courier-Journal," he says."If I wanted to wake up early on a Sunday and spend 12 hours on an investigative story and really make good progress and then pretty much do nothing the next two days, I could," he says.
"I was like, 'I have a pretty good setup going right now — a nice, like, work-life balance,'"Adam says."Beat writings’ a lot more work-work balance. So, yeah, that was certainly a concern.Adam took the job and moved to Boston in early 2015. "And a couple were married, and they were married before they even took their jobs. And there were a few who are older than me who were also single. All of them have, like, a real passion for the NBA. And I said, like, 'Mom, in a weird way, it almost feels like they're married to the NBA.'
"So, sometimes I just bail," he says."And then the next day there's a home game again, and then, a lot of times a woman will be like, 'All right, you seem like you don't really ever have time. So I think maybe this isn't the best idea.' And I understand it. I'm like, 'Yeah, I understand.'" So this past October, Adam Himmelsbach — still a bachelor — began his sixth season covering the Celtics.And through the first two thirds of the season, his dating life proceeded as it had in previous years.
"There was commotion, and no one knew what was happening," Adam says."So at that point I turned on NBA League Pass. And I was like, 'What is going on here?' And then pretty much it all just happened real fast in terms of, 'OK, they're telling the fans to go home. OK, [Jazz center] Rudy Gobert has tested positive [for the coronavirus]. OK, the NBA is done.'"
