So the teams need to go bankrupt, like almost every government entity?
Basketball players are like government employees:
Over paid
Over pensioned

Complete with cops on the court, with mace ready. Truly one of the NBA's greatest moments. The two clowns on the NY Knicks drawing guns on each other could be close second, but there is no tape.
Haven’t watched a game since the Bucks vs 76ers Eastern Conf. Championships years ago. NBA couldn’t pass up the Iverson vs. Kobe/Shaq Finals angle and I never witnessed a more blatant fix by refs.
Won’t pay a cent for NBA ever again.
That is the “Youth Demographic who has the most disposible cash” or so it is said anyway.
Is traveling even a foul anymore?
I used to really enjoy the mid to late 90’s Knicks teams, the ones with Ewing and Oakley and Starks (who used to bag groceries) and one day Phil Jackson said ‘basketball is a game of movment an beauty” and they made defense illegal and that was the end of my interest in the NBA.
I can’t believe how stupid idiots would waste any time watching the NBA or college ball.
stories like yours help us here in Phoenix cause we don’t play that thanks to Sheriff Joe, his success, but mostly Jerry Colangelo (SP) who is a great man. A Chicago transplant who started the Phoenix Suns and the Arizona Diamondbacks......
...with Jerry from day one to know, you a rummy w/ your family, the community, authority, and you outa here.
said all that to say this.....all pro athletes ain’t gangsta and here they ain’t gotta be, just great athletes
Maybe every fifth game or so on each team's schedule.
There were great rivalries from the late ‘80’s through the mid ‘90’s. I stopped watching after Jordan left the first time.
Is an appointment needed or can they accept walkins?
Yep, it’s funny to me they replay Jordan hitting the game winning shot against Utah, and you can see him just push Russel out of the way to clear a lane to take the shot..
That was terrible.
Please, support your Coyotes, they’re the big turn around story in the NHL this year. Since my Blue Jackets won’t make the playoffs, I’ll be cheering for Phoenix.
Don't think we'll see this on the teleprompter any time soon.
Walk-ins are fine as long as you disregard the three second rule.
NBA is too expensive for me and other lower middle class (35K/year) workers.

Thanks. Nice once great sport completely dobliterated by a bunch of idiots, Stern has only himself to blame. There was many times he could have set down the law, but nope, instead he gave them light penalties. Like the Jemaine Oneal and crowd fight. I was a Heat fan, and when they signed that idiot, I instantly never wanted to watch them again.
Coyotes got fans here.....no problem
Now there's an ironic team name!
Cheers!
