The Thomas Jefferson Park Pool opened on June 27, 1936 and 10,000 people attended the ceremony where Mayor Firorello La Guardia said: ‘Here is something you can be proud of. It is the last word in engineering, hygiene, and construction that could be put into a pool.’

At that point, it’s possible the NBA could cut or suspend salaries with the league still shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a league memo sent Friday to the teams, Wojnarowski reported. The next payday after April 1 would be April 15.
