Explaining the NBA lockout to the rest of the world, via the BBC
The lockout is illogical. Everyone here in America pretty much understands that, although folks who follow the NBA labor situation closely can comprehend how we’ve gotten to this particular juncture. Outside of the United States, the NBA lockout is incomprehensible to the vast majority of the world. Hopefully, through the global reach of the BBC, folks are now a little better informed. Thanks to colleague Chris Mitchell for arranging this interview I did with the BBC World Service. Click to listen.
Lockout update: Misinformation rules
NEW YORK — Players reps from all 30 NBA teams are arriving in town today, and tomorrow they’ll get debriefed on what is and what isn’t in the owners’ latest proposal. Up until now, they’ve been getting fed plenty of bad information in the two days since the owners and players went their separate ways at the conclusion of Thursday night’s bargaining session. Case in point: ESPN.com drew 5,000-plus comments on a story about how players could be sent down to the D-League
Lockout update: Player reps to meet Monday
NEW YORK — Player representatives from each of the 30 NBA teams will meet Monday in New York, and it is a guessing game as to what happens from there. Reject that deal that is on the table and demand further talks? Approve a vote of the entire player population but refuse to endorse the owners’ latest offer? Endorse the growing decertification movement? We will find out soon enough. In the meantime, some details have emerged of what is contained in the latest proposal. The
Gibson Column: Barcelona Dominates And Rony Seikaly Heats Up The Club
BARCELONA — Bo McCalebb stands to Andrei Kirilenko’s left with Macedonia’s flag draped around his neck. Several feet to Bo’s left, just past Tony Parker and right before Pau Gasol is Juan Carlos Navarro, still wearing his number seven España jersey and smiling weakly. Both Bo and La Bomba are holding onto their All EuroBasket trophies, the undeniable heroes of the summer. But only Navarro waits on a medal. A gold one, in fact. That’s how it works when you’re a
Euroleague: Maccabi-Efes
Former New Jersey Nets teammate, Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic competed against each other Thursday night as Maccabi Tel-Aviv knocked off Anadolu Efes 79-72 in Round 4 of the Euroleague. Maccabi managed to win despite giving up 17 offensive rebounds and turning the ball over 15 times, thanks to their efficient 60-percent shooting. While their former Laker teammate, Derrick Fisher, spent over 20 hours over the last two days sitting in a conference room negotiating, his former backcourt mates just finished an
NBA Lockout: What’s next
csprtContainer(); NEW YORK — The season will start Dec. 15, there will be 72 games, and the start of the NBA finals will be pushed back into mid-June instead of early June. That is assuming the players ratify the proposal David Stern made to the union late last night. Here are the next several steps: 1. The union’s player reps, with one player representing each team, will have the proposal detailed for them at a meeting in New York on Monday or Tuesday (depending
Lockout talks end; Clock to remain stopped
csprtContainer(); NEW YORK — The clock remains stopped, and it will stay that way until the early part of next week — and perhaps even longer. Eventually, we will learn whether there will be a 72-game season beginning Dec. 15, or a nuclear winter for the NBA. “”We have made our revised proposal, and we’re not planning to make another one. There’s nothing left to negotiate about,” commissioner David Stern said after the sides met for another 10 1/2 hours Thursday. Stern would not characterize
