Want my hoops back but to be honest I'd much rather see the players take the owners down a peg or too....or come to Europe we need some good players over here.
p.s. Americans who support the owners you should look into what NBA owners do with the subsidies they recieve from state and local government, money that comes from your taxes that dont just go into new stadiums.
Ma this shit is sad. I LOVE basketball. Basketball ain't about money. These players are bitches, i used to look up to some but it's fuckin pitiful. These niggas get endorsement deals from out the ass, they get FREE education from colleges with scholarships, even the SCRUBS get 5 to 6 figure salaries. I mean what the fuck else y'all want? My dream has always been to play in the NBA n i would play in the NBA even if the pay was shit, at least i would have a college education to fall back on. Smh..
@KrayzieMayne777 you're kidding yourself if you think being an athlete in college affords you enough time to study. 2 a days plus film time, and game time during the season? I don't know kid....I knew a lot of college hoopsters, and I certainly didn't know em from class...
@SethGoTribe you're just mad at LeBron cuz you're from Cleve. It's ok-Midwest love. I'm from Chicago. I'm disappointed we weren't the ones to steal him from you! Tell me why the owners deserve it more than the players. The money either goes one of those two places -- I didn't know you loved aristocratic billionaires and could identify with them better than these players many of whom who know what it means to work from nothinig.
@SethGoTribe Are they any less greedy and disconnected than the owners? I just want my hoops back and given the choice I generally side with labor over owners.
@rob60201 I got news for you, this "Union" has NOTHING to do with "labor" lol this is the disconnect, these players don't perceive the same reality that you and I do. The owners are running a business, they pay the contracts, they pay for the travel, the staff in the arenas, etc etc. The owners are rich have more resources but at the end of the day they have to serve us, the fans, The players don't. I find it extremely hard to understand how a working class person can side with the players.
@SethGoTribe so I'm supposed to better understand how a working class person sides with the owners? Millionaires are closer to my socioeconomic status than billionaires ya know.
It's news to me that the players don't serve the fans. And if in fact it's just the owners who serve the fans, then how have they not failed us since we're getting served a bunch of nothing?
@MrElrube Yes, The Owners are selling a Product, they provide an entertainment service. As long as the players got paid they would play in front of an empty arena pal lol. if you think for 1 second, that is not the case, then you are a fool. The Reason why this lockout NEEDED to happen is, the league is horribly unfair, since 1980 there have been about 9 diff Champions. The Small market teams get screwed when it comes to talent (BRON from CLE, MELO From DEN, AMARE from PHO)............
@SethGoTribe see I once almost bought the theory about lost money until I saw the Bobcats and Warriors price tags. And the best evidence yet...SA Spurs 4 Championships in a decade? Explain how small market teams can't compete? It's not your fault you're buying into the messaging. The owners have dominated the message which is why you feel this way. Me? I want a 1 seed meaning that's the best team and I'm sure you want Kyrie Irving to take you there. I don't want this turnover of good teams.
@SethGoTribe what the owners want is a system that will remove any positive continuity from the sport. How mad will you be when Cleve wins its first ring then can't afford to sign all of its players to defend the championship?
@MrElrube lol My favorite sport is Baseball, and I live and Die with the Cleveland Indians. I know that side of it, the 2007 Indians had to be disbanded due to player greed (C.C Sabathia; who turned down a 16 million dollar extension) But what you're describing is Baseball's structure, it's unique, the fact that the NBA has a Salary Cap, makes sure that this can't happen in the NBA. btw in baseball, if your team has EARNED a Championship then I would be Happy (they can leave if they want then)
@MrElrube ....If you were a keen fan of the sport you would be able to understand that the PLAYERS are the ones who are to blame for this fact. (the Inmates running the asylum) is a perfect analogy. The league can't survive like this. Look at what the NHL did in 2005. Now, the NHL has the BEST financial structure in ALL of pro sports, it is fair, FA's end up everywhere, not just major markets. 8 seeds beat 1 seeds regularly, and hell they've crowed 9 diff Champions just since 2001........
@MrElrube .....lookit........IF the NBA had continued to allow the players to take and take, then most of the owners wouldn't have teams, the small market teams wouldn't exist, COULD NOT exist. The majority of teams in the NBA have lost Billions the last few years due to a system that gave the players far too much power (This needs to end). I love the NBA, it was my first sports love, I'd like to see it achieve the level of fairness that the NFL and NHL have in their FA, and Financial structure.
@SethGoTribe here's what you're ignoring by looking at the NBA in isolation. THE MAJORITY OF AMERICA has lost money the last few years. It's called the Great Recession. It's cyclical. Now when boom is upon us design a system that responds to the bust? All skewed in owners' favor and not correct.
@MrElrube Remember 9 Champs since 1980....(how many booms and busts have we had in our economy over this time?)..... This is NBA isolated, regardless of the economy, the system that has been im place doesn't work the way it should. its more suited for a 8 team league. I'm glad the Lockout has happened, now that the players union has disbanded, this greatly increases the chances of the Owners prevailing and the NBA becoming a much healthier entity. BUT, I Can't wait till they tip it off again.
@SethGoTribe You seem to suggest they cheapen what it means to be a champion. Since 1980 huh...I didn't know Boston was a huge city. Detroit either. Or San Antonio..or Detroit again. Portland Oregon? Even the Sac Kings came close! New York Knicks sure haven't won have they? It's an issue of continuity and running a good organization, something that was forgotten in flipping teams to people who eventually forget why they've even bought in. Mark Cuban knows there are many other profitable busnsss
@weetoy69 every fucking person who agrees with the players association is either a fucking bum with no money who is trying to make a point, or another ignorant nigger like the rest of the NBA
@alwayssmile4u66 I don't quite get your point. It's like saying that you wouldn't have any money if you didn't know how to count. Sure-true, but what's your point? I can attest being friends with college ball players back then that they dedicate their life to this. And with billions coming in, it comes down to them or the owners getting the money. What gives, and why not the players?
@rrbolando exactly...the players deserve every penny. they worked hard for this. owners? teams are just their little playtoys. one day they're in it for the money, the next day they're in it for the rings. Whichever reason is most convenient on a given day. glad you like the song.
@confidentwun2 I didn't write the song, so you're seething rage is misdirected, but I do largely side with the players. Why should the players suffer so the owners can be protected against themselves? Are the owners children? Who says they are 'bleeding money'? Paper losses to reduce tax shelters (roster depreciation allowance) don't count.
@confidentwun2 I wrote and performed the song. I am white! So thank you for the rap flattery. Also, not all owners are white (see Michael Jordan, Jay-Z, Will Smith, Usher, etc). Second of all, I am sure you get the message. Bleeding money = $500 million sale of GS Warriors?? What??? Here's the message: Stern, the owners, the players, the NBA...MAY NOT RECOVER! Fans will lose interest. The casual fan just came back last year. Now will be gone forever. You're the one who doesn't understand, moron.
