A lot of basketball fans around the world are disappointed because of the NBA lockout. Basically the lockout is taking place because the commissioner of the NBA doesn't wan't to give a lot of money, but the NBA wan't to get a raise. In other words the commissioner is in charge of the NBA players paychecks and he doesn't want to give them more money, but the NBA players wan't more money. Since both sides don't agree the players don't play and no profits are made.
Some players just want to play basketball so some of the big stars like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Deron Williams,e.t.c. are signing short term contracts with international teams like teams from Turkey and other countries. Most people don't get to watch Turkey and other countries basketball games on their T.V. What I'm going to try to do to avoid the lockout is watch another sport or watch a lot of college basketball.
Nice post very informal about the issue I also love the pictures. How does it feel to have something you love get taken away from you for so long? Can't wait for you to get back!
ReplyDeleteIs it still going on? good post
ReplyDeleteI don't really follow basketball but I know the rules and I never knew about the lock out. It sounds serious. Your blog gave me a good view of what the lock out is.
ReplyDeleteNext time, just make sure you spell "want" like that not like this: "wan't"
