The latest news on the 2011 NBA Lockout is that the NBA canceled NBA games through December 15, 2011. NBA teams were notified on Tuesday of this new extension of the lock. The NBA lockout has not entered more than 140 days. This is on the bigger side of 26 percent of the 2011-2012 season, and there really is no end in sight.The NBA locked-out players filed class-action antitrust lawsuits against the NBA on Tuesday in at least two states, which brings the whole issue to federal court. The players are doing so because, as their attorney, David Boies, says, "...the NBA lockout violates antitrust laws by refusing to allow players to work."
If the players win, it is said that they could win up to 3 times the amount of money the players would have made playing this season.
How do you feel about the NBA Lockout? Are you a heated fan, pissed off that you're missing the season, or could you care less that NBA basketball is currently not playing? Do you think the players are being greedy? The owners? Both?
