A couple months ago I was really ok with the whole NBA lock
out thing but now it is just getting annoying. Two or three days ago was
supposed to be the start of the season but it came and went with no opening day
moments or wins and losses for teams. Now I know that it is a business but in
the words of most parents in the world, “let them play!”
Usually
opening day for the NBA is one of my favorite days of the year. I get to see my
favorite players and cheer for them while I boo and say that Lebron is not that
good and he gets all of the calls. But this year was the exact opposite. The
day came and all I enjoyed was the documentary on the former NBA player and my
friend’s post’s about how they are sorry I will not be watching games that
night. I spent the day reminiscing on good days of basketball and monster dunks
and crazy shots while watching the players association and the owners argue
over two point five percent of revenue.
Now that
this lockout is affecting me now I feel that this is probably one of the
dumbest things I have heard in a while. If all that is keeping me from enjoying
basketball is two point five percent I say someone gives in so everybody and
get enjoyment. The players and owners enjoy the money and games and us the fans
enjoy spending the money and the games. If this ends up costing me my whole
season then I might need to rethink my choice of league and sport because this is
no reason to stop Andy’s pass time.
I am not
doing that bad now but by Christmas if there is no basketball I might be going
insane. Christmas always has the best games on and if all I do that day is
visit with family I am going to be frustrated and disappointed. So come on NBA,
finish this little dispute your having and give me my basketball!
Don't worry, there is still college basketball
