NBA Lockout

[Natural Man]

if they don't get paid this season, how many will file bankruptcy before next season?

that would be great, would make them finaly accept lower salaries... they ve been way overpaid, that s what killed the spirit anyway.

Just a little update word has it, the nba owners are set to wait out the NBAPA, as a reported 70 percent of their players are set to file for bankruptcy by april of 2012. I guess the rims really do cost alot.

Poor guys only average 7 million a year for playing a game that they love.

NBA is my favorite sport, huge fan, BUT I'm pissed at the owners and players right now and don't care if the whole season is canceled.  Players are way too greedy and not sticking together, all this bullshit about going over seas.  They don't understand unity so fuck em. 

[Coach is Back!]

Easy calfzilla or Wiggs will tell you shut your dirty mouth!

Man, Oden looks like he is 50.  Dude has never lived up to the hype.  i would rather see Rudy Gay come back and Dominate. Fuck Oden.  It's a personal hatred i have for Oden. Just imagine if you guys could get Sullinger next year.

Honestly I hope B Roy can make a decent comeback.  I'm not convinced he is washed up.  Jamal Crawford is lobbying to be a Blazer whenever the season starts.

From Atlanta? If so, then go Trailblazers.... Dude went to Michigan and he played well in Atlanta, but is over paid.

I quess us basketball fans can watch real bb at the college level, where they play hard and have a defense.

[no one]

at least when they are playing they have less time to commit crime and impregnate white women

LOL!

[dr.chimps]

There was great Onion headline a few weeks ago: 'NBA Says They Can Still Salvage A 10-Game Season.'  Genius.   

[JimmyJam1974]

Sucks for rookies, especially those who left school early to make that $

I could careless  if  they comeback or not. I havent even  watched an entire basketball game  since the Michael Jordan days

A buncha overpaid dudes tossing a ball around?  The same guys in which over 80% of them end up going bankrupt and broke after their careers are over? Yea, we're really missing it 

But....we got HOCKEY!  What better than a sport that combines soccer, football, and MMA...on skates!

Meh its a half sport, who the fuck can afford shit for that game way to expensive. Soccer and football are way better.

I think that's a common theme with many users on this site.  Does anyone care if Lebron thinks he can beat Kobe in 1on1?

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Basketball season is way too long. Too many games. Should be a 50 game season.

[Soul Crusher]

Do you care if it comes back, and more importantly how will this effect your workout.

NBA stars to play in Obama basketball fundraiser
Associated Press

PUBLISHED FRIDAY, NOV. 18, 2011


WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's re-election campaign is bringing together more than two dozen NBA stars for a fundraising basketball game next month.

Obama's campaign says Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks, Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics, Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat and many others will headline the "Obama Classic Basketball Game" on Dec. 12 in Washington.

With the NBA season in jeopardy because of the lockout, the game will serve as a fundraising All-star game. Others confirmed to play include Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant, New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul and Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard.

Tickets range from $100 to $5,000 for courtside seats. The money will go to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising account by the Democratic Party and Obama's re-election campaign.








I hope these thugs never work again.

Lacrosse is waaaaaay better!!!! besides, being a sport preferrably played by elites and Ivy Leaguers, and the fact that many get high powered jobs after playing in college (Maryland, Duke, Johns Hopkins,G-Town, NC), have you seen the women who play Lax?

Let the racist comments begin

Sometimes I think this is a KKK forum.
