It's hard to believe but the Tokyo Olympics will begin next week! After being cancelled and rescheduled from last year, 2020, to this year 2021, hopes are high that they will actually take off. Sadly, fans are now banned due to the continuing outbreak of COVID19, with the athletes competing without the roar of the crowd. 

So, since you can't go to the Olympics, how do you watch the competition and add a little thrill to your life? Stay at Scottie Pippen's house in Chicago!
