yeah but like, half of the teams in the nba lost money last season? and last season was one of the best years the nba has ever had? it could be poor management of the teams, but it's hard to say that so many teams find it that hard to even break even.

and nba players have the highest average salary of any athletes. i definately think they can give some money up, the current 57/43 split is ridiculous. now they don't even want to move down to 53/47? it's so dumb

Dealt with it in baseball in '94 and basketball in 99. Still black marks in my eyes. I don't count the 99 Spurs as champions because of the shortened season. It's fucking stupid that these people can't come to an agreement.

Default response from poseidon in a sports thread-

Your team sucks so your statement is invalid.

because "cs" is a valid statement that saying "atlanta sports suck" was clearly trying to disprove

if only the nba was entertaining, then this would be tragic. since the nba sucks, has shitty biased officiating, and no rule enforcement, it doesnt matter in the least.

A host of the NBA’s top players are planning a worldwide exhibition tour spanning multiple continents, according to multiple reports.

The tour is scheduled to take place during what would have been the first two weeks of the NBA’s regular season. It would start in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Oct. 30, and then travel to London’s O2 Arena (Nov. 1 and 3); Macau, China (Nov. 5); and Melbourne, Australia (Nov. 8 and 9), Yahoo! Sports reports.

Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Amare Stoudemire, Chris Bosh, Rajon Rondo, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Carlos Boozer, Paul Pierce and Kevin Love are among the players expected to participate, according to ESPN. Kevin Durant, Kevin Garnett and others are considering it. Dwight Howard turned down the opportunity.

The players will earn from six figures up to $1 million for their participation, sources tell ESPN. The “bigger the names, the bigger the paychecks,” according Yahoo! Some of the proceeds will go to charity.

Atlanta business mogul Calvin Darden, along with the players’ agents, have been planning the venture for about three months, ESPN reports. Darden wants the games to be broadcast internationally, including in the U.S.

A settlement of the labor deal would obviously mean the tour won’t go off, and ESPN reports the tour “has not yet been finalized and there's still a chance it could unravel.”

theres been optimism for a deal lately. some are saying they'll have a deal done by Friday

also: lebron, cp3m and a few others mysteriously dropped out of the world tour. maybe because nba is starting soon?

"I'll be lying if i say that it didn't bother me. You know..because..erm..i created..erm..like the mistakes that i made in my life. You know,i created a picture of me that its not me. You know erm,i did alot of things that i'm not proud of but i think those things help me to be the man that i am now. And..you know,the last couple of years had been hell because all i want to do is play basketball and help the guys that i play with."

" If i couldn't play basketball that i'm accustomed to,then i wouldnt make this decision,i aint wanna come back and embarass myself. You know..erm..i know i can play,and i'm gonna prove that. "
