Great line from Stern there. Now the owners can't negotiate because there's no union to do it with.

Heh, I thought I just heard the other day they were close to a deal, and could possibly start the season right before Xmas.

Its just a bunch of dipshits on both sides of the table. You had arguably the most compelling NBA season since MJ's last year last season and could have been poised to really take advantage of that momentum and they decide to do this instead.

You would think but the NHL has a way of pissing all over their shoes as well. It's that free capitalistic economy thing that most Canadians don't get but they are slowly coming around.

Even I, who hasn't watched the NBA much in a long time, watched a decent part of the playoffs last year and pretty much all of the finals. |

Not only did Gary Bettman come from the NBA, he was specifically recommended for the NHL's commissioner job by David Stern.... so, that probably explains a few things.

50/50 revenue split in this economy, with some owners known to be losing money, the chance to regain some of the former popularity of their league by building on their best season since MJ, and they turned it down?
