Commissioner David Stern was stern in the owners final offer of a 50/50 deal for the BRI (basketball related income) to NBA Players. However, the most recent action was that of the players, rejecting the NBA owners offer. Stern set a deadline of 5:00 p.m. eastern time Wednesday for a deal to be set, or [...]

According to multiple, very reliable sources, the NBA lockout is over. News is breaking that hands will be shook this evening, and free agency will start up in the next week. I’m very excited about this personally, and it also sounds like the NBA is trying to re-schedule games late into April to make up [...]

Underneath the silence with the media, the NBA owners and players may be seeing some light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. My instincts tell me the lockout is in its final stages. I just don’t believe either side is stubborn enough to cancel an entire season. Don’t get me wrong, we are definitely [...]

Just heard this on ESPN Radio. Just a quick reaction from me at least. I’m very upset about this, and I think it was totally avoidable. Seriously, what was so wrong with sitting down, both sides giving a bit, and getting a deal done? They had one in sight last Thursday and allowed talks to [...]
