Also, this is interesting:

Nothing like good ol' shady, but legal, accounting practices.

Fun thing to do: go to www.nba.com right now and look for a photo of a current NBA player. Any player will do. Not there.

 

[Ristol]

Also, NBA TV is disgusting right now. If they're not showing Hardwood Classics (which I like), they're showing either a WNBA game or highlights of a WNBA game. Disgusting.

Those be some nappy headed hoes - huhuhuhuhu.......

He's gonna be better than Rose.

 

[Ristol]

John Wall is a freakish athlete but Derrick Rose has a chance to be one of the greatest players ever. He has everything.

 

[roaches]

All he has on Wall is age, a floater, and carte blanche.

I DU ALTIMA SCHOTTBLACKER IN DU HISERY OF DU NBA

 

[Kobe]

Now way!! They ranked him earlier than I expected. Age has caught on and all but damn...

 

[ArtsyGirl]

When is this stupid lockout gonna end???? I'm so desperate I've started watching NFL! Has the NCAA Basketball games started yet?

 

[Kobe]

^lol! Never watched NFL but all my friends that ever moved stateside are hooked on it. These are people that never cared for it in the first place. I don't think college hoops has kicked off but they'll have a huge audience with the thirst for hoops right now.

I doubt there will even be a season.

NEW YORK -- Three days and 30 hours' worth of talks ended on a nasty note Thursday in NBA labor negotiations. And only one thing seemed fairly certain: more games were likely to be cut. Possibly even the season.

I say lock up this thread as well until the season starts.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

How stupid. Maybe they should start a USBL and scare them into ending this shit.

Euroleague it is.

 

[Snowman]

David Stern needs to shut the season down already, they wont settle like the NFl. agreement wont be made until May of 2012

 

[Kobe]

Word is if the current offer isn't accepted (in layman's terms):

- There won't be a season
- It would affect the next season as well as it'll become a legal matter

'Insiders' say the players won't accept the current offer. Two whole seasons without NBA?

Meanwhile in Miami you can read a whole Chapter from Shaq's book. Don't know if its been released or not, but makes for some good reading given the slow NBA news.

 

[Kobe]

Oh yeah

NEW YORK -- NBA owners and players reached a tentative agreement early Saturday to end the 149-day lockout and hope to begin the delayed season on Christmas Day.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Hellz yeah! I want's to see games again! So far the College games have gotten me through.

 

[Flipmo]

I haven't even realized that there was a lock-out...
