Lockout!!!

I'm going to throw a parade when you go and get yourself banned. But I'm not clear what you meant. Care to continue to clarify your position?

.....just thought Jason's observations shed light on why nobody cares much about NBA basketball these days.....why most side with the owners.....and why a whole year lockout wouldn't bother the mainstream public at all.
 
If African-American players are unwilling to accept this reality, NBA owners will speed up the internationalization of their team's rosters. Many African-American players with NBA-quality skill will soon find themselves circling the country playing basketball with Hot Sauce and the And 1 Tour while Nowitzki collects a $10 million NBA check.

OK, but thus far the influx of European players hasn't diminished the number of black players at all. Percentage wise they're replacing White American players.

As far as the "loathing of NBA Players" this is nowhere near as bad as the 1994 baseball strike in terms of anger from the fans.

I like Whitlock; but he has a tendancy to just pull stuff out of his fat *** sometimes.
 
...ok, it's 10 pm eastern time...what gives??? Is the lockout still on? Has there been a compromise? Is the season officially off? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
 
Marbury gives his take....and then get's a response! Pretty good stuff, huh?

"Michael Jordan has always been a class act, with maybe the exception of how he cheated on his wife & ex-wife, while Stephon Marbury has always been an ignorant thug with a ghetto rap (pun intended) and is not much smarter than other NBA "geniuses' who got mostly blackballed from the league, like J.R. Rider and Latrell Sprewell. I'll wager his Chinese teammates have about as much love & respect for him as they can fit in-between their chopsticks when having to eat with him on the bus rides from game-to-game.

He's a headphones-on, "I'm on the phone", it's "all about me", got-no-care-for-you punk who never matured, and never apologizes---A male-chauvanistic di¢k who twitters and writes on his facebook like the 3rd grade was as far as his edumacation ever got 'im. Which is probably why you can't even read his tattoos."
 
Had to stop carolinajazz, he was going for a five bagger.

PS- I'm imagining from the lack of updates on the lockout talks that it went similarly to the opening scene in "Gangs of New York", but with more broken bones.

Just read an article on the talks. They are still in discussion, let's hope for the best
 
My personal experience of talking about something for 500 straight hours is that no new great ideas are going to come up. It's time to put some **** in the cart and get the **** out of the store.
 
The NBA and NBPA met for 12 hours on Wednesday, beginning at 1:00 PM EST and concluding at 1:00 AM EST early on Thursday morning.

David Stern said that the two sides have agreed to stop the clock on their ultimatum offer and continue negotiations on Thursday at noon.

"Nothing was worked out today," said Stern.

Stern advised the media not to read much into the situation both for optimism or pessimism.
