NBA commissioner David Stern has cancelled the first two weeks of the season after owners and players failed to reach a new labor deal and end the lockout.
The crisis began on July 1 when owners locked out the players after they failed to come to terms before the expiration of the old collective bargaining agreement.

I don’t feel bad for either side.
The owners still collected payments from season ticketholders like myself ($28K for LAKERS & CLIPPERS).
They’re refunding it to me on a montly basis, “after” the games have been officially cancelled...

Every day not played is a day LeBron gets older....I think once the players started picking teams things were doomed. They won’t be back for a long time.

How is a bunch overpaid idjits not playing a game considered a crisis? Talk about a severe loss perspective!

Hussein's media and his base are treating this like a crisis! Yet, they SHOULD be pleased, since the eeevil millionaires will not be getting money!

This one-time Knick fan is through with the NBA, bored with the NFL,could care less about MLB and I’m about done with the whole college sports scene also.
ESPN along with the rest of the big time media has destroyed what was once, Great American pastimes in the name of the almighty dollar and political correctness.

The FIRST baseball strike destroyed professional sports for me, quite permanently. I’ve just seen it as a business ever since. I cannot suspend disbelief while trying to watch.
I do enjoy high school sports more, and minor league baseball can be a hoot.
And to anyone who does not believe it is a business: Look what everyone is talking about when a season gets delayed. They talk about the impact to business, both national and local. The restaurant ownder, the waitress, the traffic director, the peanut salesman, the team swag salesman, the city tax collector.
Yup. I’m still done with it.

NBA?
They could cancel it and I wouldn’t notice.
They stopped playing the actual sport of basketball long ago.
To: Recovering_Democrat
David Stern better worry more about the fact that NOBODY cares that the NBA is not playing... I am a casual watcher when there's an intriguing match-up... But crisis? NO

And to all those colleges that give out sports scholarships instead of academic scholarships....shame on you!!
To: Vaquero
Once they turned it into "Thug Ball" I lost interest - guys like Havlichek and Dr. J must be appalled at what their sport has become.
Just tune in to ESPN Classic for some real basketball (60's thru 80s).
