I haven’t written a word about the NBA lockout. This poster was a good timeline of the events that have gone down so far. I keep hoping they come to an agreement, yet deep down don’t really believe they will. If only the NBA owners could’ve done something as stupid as the NFL owners did with signing TV deals that got them paid whether the games were played or not, but no such luck. They seem to be in a strong position, and the players seem to just have to take the deal their offered if they want to play ball this year. Anyways, I find it ridiculous that the players think they’ll be happy overseas. I’ve done my fair share of travelling, and think it’s funny they would consider overseas a legitamate option. First off, if you go to a game in China, there’s smoking allowed in the arena. That factor alone would make it harder to play. Second, they won’t get paid as much even if they are stars, and donning the Shanghai Sharks jersey won’t exactly give the players as much pride as wearing their NBA teams jersey. Honestly, I have no idea when or if this season will ever start/happen, but I know the players and owners are retarded for waiting so long to step up the urgency of these meetings. It’s like they didn’t really even start caring and meeting eachother until October started, which is pathetic. When they did meet they were only there for 6 hours!?! Yeah, they must be trying hard if they can’t even put in an 8 hour workday… If you haven’t read Bill Simmons two articles on the lockout, I recommend them if you have some time to kill and want to understand it better, because he’s quite long winded, but very on point… Here’s part 1, and here’s part 2. Oh and this was a great piece by Whitlock as well.

Holy crap where’d u find that?

I found it on thehoopsdoctors.com. I almost put this video up instead, but went with the infograph haha

That’s the saddest animated story I’ve seen since “The Lion King.”
With no season in sight, I’ll do my best to find a Stephon Curry career highlights video and send it out to you directly to get you by.

Very sad, please feel free to send me any Curry highlight reels 🙂

I firmly believe that David Stern and Bud Selig were separated at birth ! That’s all I’ve got to say about the subject ! Love that also that LBJ says he feels the fans’ pain ! He’s earning in excess of $40 million a year and he feels our pain ? He can kiss my black a## ! . Perhaps “King James” can share some of that forty mil’ he made last year by sharing some of it amongst the plebiscites (po’ folks) ?
Stern cares about the NBA fans about as much Selig is said to care about the fans of MLB which is not one god damn bit !

Very detailed and cool Info-Graph. Unfortunately, they will be adding 2012…until the players finally admit defeat.
