Good. Cancel their contracts for cause, institute a new salary cap and allow them to renegotiate for a much lower rate. If they refuse, lots of other people willing to play basketball for a living. F’em.

Yeah,right. Just like all the Libs moving to Canada when Trump was elected.

With the clock running out on the selfish LeBron James career he will be totally against calling off the season. I would bet on it. All that matters to him is trying to win as many championships as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Right now he is a pathetic three wins out of nine championship series.

They may not have figured out that their salaries and endorsement deals would get cancelled too. It will dawn on them eventually.

Used to like the NBA in the 80s.

Now, if it folded it wouldn't be missed a bit.

Eventually the cancel culture cancels itself.

Great news, Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets and his fellow professional basketball players! You made my day!

I could care less if the NBA canceled the next 10 years of basketball.

That’s just as valid for the NFL,Major league baseball,Soccer and any other sport then bends their knees to support that BLM terror group.

LOL...he's a coach of overpaid ball players.

They contribute absolutely nothing to the overall benefit of the country.

We've been without the nba since March. Has the country suffered? Nope.

I don’t know, part of me thinks he loves being a “Social Activist” even more than playing. He’s got enough “FU Money”, that’s for sure. And as I said “Wealthy Black Guilt” is every bit of a thing as “White Guilt”.

You do and, so help me, I'll never go to another NBA game again.

'Course, I've never gone to an NBA game to begin with, but, wait, no, that's not quite true. I went to a Sonics/Bullets playoff game back in 1978 or '79.

So, if you want my 6 dollars, you better think about, wait, what?, NBA tickets cost more than 6 dollars these days? I'm out.

Excellent! Maybe they can go help build up CHAZ in all their spare time. I haven’t watched the NBA for years. Ever since they allowed 5 or 6 steps before they would call a travel.
