Everyone thought David Stern won the 1999 NBA Lockout, just like everyone will eventually give the owners the 2011 (or 2012 ... or 2013) victory. But Stern never wins a lockout because he doesn't want to.
The NBA lockout talks took "eight steps back" after Tuesday's meeting, according to Corey Maggette.
The NBA lockout hit a stalemate on Tuesday, and while David Stern explained both sides' disagreements, the NBA Players Association is preparing players to sit out half the season. At least. There has to be a silver lining in all this, right?
Wilson Chandler risked more than any other NBA player has by signing in China. Will the bet pay off? Also: why we hold David Stern to a higher standard.
Just because NBA owners treat their teams like vanity projects doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to profit off of them, too.
David Stern and the owners face an impossible dilemma in the NBA lockout: how do you crush a union made up of stars you depend on completely? The P.R. ramifications from the 1998-99 lockout still haunt the NBA, something not lost on Stern but seemingly unsolvable nonetheless.
While the union and owners are locked up together trying to solve the NBA lockout, they can make a few changes to the D-League to make it better resemble the official minor league it is billed to be.
As the NBA lockout crawls on, we're left to wonder that if the league is in such financial peril, why are very rich men paying huge sums of money to get a team?
When the owners and David Stern blame the 2011 NBA Lockout on rising expenses, don't believe that it's player contracts that are growing out of control.
