By Chris Sheridan NEW YORK — David Stern has left the building. But he might be back before the night is over. After seven hours of talks Wednesday, Stern and owner Wyc Grousbeck of the Boston Celtics left the hotel where collective bargaining talks are being held and headed to a nearby hotel, where the league’s Board of Governors is holding its annual fall meeting. Both men needed to attend a briefing by Grousbeck to the league’s Planning Committee regarding proposed changes to the

Lockout update: Talks have resumed – 2 p.m. UPDATE
By Chris Sheridan NEW YORK — Earlier, this post listed the two biggest questions of the day in the NBA lockout talks: How much energy is left after a 16-hour bargaining session that ended after 2 a.m. this morning? Will David Stern be flexible with the Board of Governors’ schedule if a deal is within reach?

Lockout talks end after 16 hours, to resume in morning
By Chris Sheridan NEW YORK — After more than 16 hours of meetings, there still is no deal to end the NBA lockout. Also, nobody is talking. Owners and players met Tuesday into Wednesday for what was by far their longest negotiating session since the lockout was imposed, breaking up after 2 a.m. and agreeing to reconvene later Wednesday morning after a few hours sleep.

This e-mailer should be a reporter
By Chris Sheridan I got an e-mail from a reader who attended the “City of Brotherly Love vs. Chocolate City” charity game last weekend, and the more I read, the more I wondered why this dude hadn’t chosen journalism as a profession. He has a tremendous eye for detail. His name is Travis Hill, his Twitter is @THillTeev, and here is what he wrote. “I went to the DC-Philly charity basketball game at Coolidge High in Northeast DC Saturday night and it was one of
Update from Lockout Talks in NYC
By Chris Sheridan NEW YORK — It’s a full house here at the NBA lockout talks, with every member of the owners’ labor relations committee and every member of the players’ executive committee in attendance (with the exception of Keyon Dooling), along with a federal mediator. We’ve even got an extra Buss, with both Jerry, and his daughter, Jeanie, sitting in the negotiating room. As the clock neared 6 p.m., the sides had been meeting for almost eight hours. The most colorful anecdote from the press room
Hubbard column: The side with the most islands wins
By Jan Hubbard As far as I can tell, there is no truth to the rumor than in the last couple of weeks, people who participate in the illegal activity of cockfighting have been naming their roosters “David” and “Billy.” NBA commissioner David Stern and union chief Billy Hunter pecked at each other quite a bit after Stern cancelled the first two weeks of the NBA season. As always, Stern was the aggressor. In a series of radio and television interviews, Stern came
