NBA Players Reject Latest Proposal From Greedy Owners, Season in Serious Jeopardy
By Jason McIntyre
I stand by what I’ve been saying throughout the lockout – the league won’t really be missed until Christmas. As the holidays come to a close, and the exhibitions bowl games end and January rolls around and the NFL is in the postseason and there’s much less to talk about in the sports world … fans will miss the NBA. That’s when the league will start losing fans.
It’ll really hurt come April, after the NCAA tournament. What are people going to do in May and June, when there aren’t NBA playoff games on for 30-40 days in a row? Watch regular season baseball every night?
