No More Lock Out
The NBA has finally come to an agreement with the players having 51% and the owners getting 49%. Got to love missing many teams play just because they wanted one more percent than the original offer of 50-50. When you grow up as a kid splitting something 50-50 was all ways the fair thing to do. Why do we change? The answer is money. As soon as money is involved people become greedy and arrogant. The saying is true in my mind that money is the root of all evil. Would these players play for free? I believe some would just for the love of the game. Agents is what make this sport and baseball, and football a money hungry industry. To reach an agrrement the owners and players had an exhausting, 15-hour negotiation session. So after 149 days of the lockout an agreement is finally reached.The training camps will start on Dec. 9 and we will now havea 66-game season beginning on Dec. 25 compared to the normal 82 game season. On opening day of the season which is Christmaswe will three great games to kick it off: Boston at New York, an NBA Finals rematch of Miami at Dallas, and Chicago at the Los Angeles Lakers. I am excited that we have a season now and hope my team(Thunder) can do work again this year. Calling Durant as the MVP this year. LA Lakers Forward Pau Gasol on twitter said," After the recent news about the possible end of the #lockout , we're all excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel! #WeLoveThisGame." Lucky we did have the light at the end of the tunnel before the fans starting rebelling if their was going to be no season. Cheer for your team and I hope we have a great season this year, just like last season.

It is true most sports are driven by the almighty dollar. We all witnessed the NFL lockout. We should have known that the NBA would do the same. I just hope that these professional athletes have not lost the drive and passion to play the game. For this reason myself and other fans go out to watch and enjoy these hype action packed games. O yeah by the way Thunder Up!
