they re just proving they dont give a fuck about their fans, and that they re just giant immature spoiled douches who only care about the money. Mos of them couldnt care less if it started again or not, what matters to them are their fortunes.

So Coach did you know since the 90s everytime they've negotiated, the players have taken less? So now the owners want it to be 50-50...Making it seem fair but in reality it's not...It's been take, take, take...that's it...Betcha didn't know that Coach...I guarentee.

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.

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.... 8) 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.
-
at least when they are playing they have less time to commit crime and impregnate white women
LOL!
-
There was great Onion headline a few weeks ago: 'NBA Says They Can Still Salvage A 10-Game Season.' Genius. ;D
-
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 ;D
But....we got HOCKEY! What better than a sport that combines soccer, football, and MMA...on skates!

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

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?

Sometimes I think this is a KKK forum.

Plantation Politics: Economics, Race, and the N.B.A. Lockout
By Dave Zirin
Print this article
Last Tuesday evening, at the end of HBO’s “Real Sports,” Bryant Gumbel referred to David Stern, the commissioner of the N.B.A., as a “plantation overseer.” Coming at a point when the players have been locked out for four months, negotiations are at a standstill, and a substantial part of the season has already been canceled, the remarks added to a simmering debate.
How can the horrors of the slave trade possibly be compared to a billion-dollar labor negotiation? It’s a fair question, but the metaphor, and the conflict it evokes, is as old as professional sports itself. In the nineteenth century, a white player named John Montgomery Ward was described as leading a “slave revolt” against Major League Baseball. In 1964, Muhammad Ali said that he would “no longer be a slave.” Five years later, the baseball player Curt Flood called himself “a well paid slave” because of his inability to exercise free agency (for which he went to court, and lost both the case and his career). Contemporary athletes such as Larry Johnson, Anthony Prior, Warren Sapp, and Adrian Peterson have used the formulation. It’s been deployed by players to describe a feeling of being condescended to—of being treated as boys instead of men—and of lacking control of their own livelihoods.
In the N.B.A., where every owner but one (Michael Jordan) is white, and eighty-six per cent of the players are black, racial tensions have been unspoken but tangible—as illustrated by a scene two weeks ago. David Stern was sitting across the negotiating table from a constellation of the league’s stars. He then became, per his usual style, openly contemptuous of the players “inability to understand” the financial challenges faced by ownership, according to ESPN’s Ric Bucher. He rolled his eyes. He took deep breaths. He then pointed his finger repeatedly toward the face of the Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade.
Wade, who is twenty-nine, is one of the most popular faces in the N.B.A. among fans. He interrupted Stern. “You’re not pointing your finger at me,” Wade said, according to Bucher. “I’m not your child.”
Most immediately, Gumbel’s comments looked at David Stern’s management style through a racial lens. That is, in a sense, tragic, since Stern’s résumé has all the trappings of a racial progressive. He’s served on the board of the N.A.A.C.P. He’s led a league that has long had the best record in terms of hiring people of color as coaches and executives. Even in ownership, the N.B.A. is the only major sport in which a person of African descent sits in the owner’s box. But none of that has protected him from the latest accusations. These dynamics didn’t develop overnight, and for that he bears most of the blame.
Over the last decade, Stern has built reservoirs of bad will. After an infamous 2004 brawl between members of the Indiana Pacers and fans of the Detroit Pistons, Stern said that he had a responsibility to “the ticket-buying fan” to clean up the league. He instituted a dress code.
He created a list of verboten establishments where players couldn’t socialize when on the road. He set age limits on when players could enter the league. He met with the Republican strategist Matthew Dowd to discuss how to give the league “red state appeal.” When he had the N.B.A.’s official magazine, “Hoop,” airbrush out Allen Iverson’s tattoos, it was seen as an attack on the “hip-hop generation” of players. Yet Stern did little to reach out or correct the record.
For N.B.A. fans, the most maddening part about this should be that the suspicion of Stern means that no one on the players’ side trusts either him or the financial figures he has been pointing to in negotiations. The league is coming off of the most profitable season in its history, but Stern insists that as many as twenty-three of its thirty teams are losing money. Players don’t believe him, especially as his solution to “the crisis of team profitability” is to take back money that is going to them. Stern refuses to consider a solution that would involve his owners sharing television revenue, as N.F.L. teams do.
All this bad feeling also meant outrage when, for example, the sportswriter Bill Simmons, writing for Grantland, asked last week:
"Where’s the big-picture leadership here? What’s the right number of franchises? Where should those franchises play? What’s worse, losing three franchises or losing an entire season of basketball? What’s really important here? I don’t trust the players’ side to make the right choices, because they are saddled with limited intellectual capital. (Sorry, it’s true.) The owners’ side can’t say the same; they should be ashamed. Same for the agents."
The phrase “intellectual capital” had uglier echoes than Simmons may have intended. In response to criticism from several corners, Simmons posted a clarification, noting that:, "If we’re relying on someone to create a new economic model to save the league, don’t expect it to be the players; it’s outside their means. That’s what I wrote. I would have written the same thing about NHL players, NFL players or MLB players…."
In other words, he was doubting the big-picture savvy and economic acuity of athletes, not simply black athletes. I spoke to several N.B.A. players on the negotiating team who didn’t want to comment but made clear that they weren’t assuaged by the explanation.
We have reached a point where no one would be surprised if more, or all, of the season were lost. Dirk Nowitzki, after throwing out the first pitch in Game 3 of the World Series on Saturday, talked to reporters about playing in Germany; a number of prominent players, like Deron Williams and Ty Lawson, are already abroad. There was also word that players might form an independent league in which, as SI.com reported, “players would organize unofficial versions of the games that are being lost.” Carmelo Anthony, of the Knicks, said, “It’s possible. It’s very possible, with all the relationships and connections players and agents have…. At the end of the day, with all the guys Nike and the Jordan Brand have, they are very powerful.” Some sportswriters, such as ESPN’s Michael Wilbon, have openly mocked this idea, saying that players have “expenditures and lifestyles … that don’t lend itself to ponying up money to start a league.” But that doesn’t take into account the unhappiness of the players. Are they angry enough now to start their own league—or at least try—and, in effect, occupy the N.B.A.?

Lol at these spoiled little girls who because they have millions (earned playing fucking basketball and injecting drugs), several babies from different women, think they re now grown men. As if having money and babies means someone else who s more mature than you cant point a finger at you. Fucking multi millionaires childs. Let them get bankrupt in less than 3 years and see how they come back like the immature little piece of shits they are.
Lol at building their own league...most of these guys have the IQ of a fucking rodent and cant do anything else but play ball.
Generation nothingness.

x2 fuck the NBA

it's so long cause it fills arenas = makes money for the organization.
Actually 80% of all NBA teams are making no profit. Many think that they should drop 5 to 8 teams from the league and do away with the arenas in cities that are losing moneyl.
