This NBA lockout is just getting ridiculous. My guess is that the season will be totally cancelled. In the NFL, both players and owners knew that it was huge to get a deal done and worked like crazy. The NBA is a completely different story. It seems as though nobody is making progress in getting a deal done. The latest report is that Derek Fisher and the NBA players have called the deal presented by owners is "extremely unfair."
Well, guess what? Life is unfair. You play a game for a living and make more money than most people in the world could ever dream of making. Players and owners need to get it together. Years from now, when looking back at what happened to the absent 2011-12 season, people are going to wonder what happened. It comes down to greed. These guys are here to provide entertainment for people and let people take their jobs, problems, or lives off their mind for a little while. But they are complaining about not making enough money?

What is the league minimum in the NBA? Half a million dollars per year. Really? Come on, man! It's gonna take me like 20 years to make that much money dude! Get this thing figured out, or I'm afraid I'm gonna have to start being a hockey fan. I just think the whole thing is stupid and it's all about greed. So why would anybody wanna support either side?
