As the winter months start to approach, the NFL winds down. Then, sports fans start looking at the sport that keeps them busy for the winter months: basketball. It is almost hard to imagine a full winter without any sports to watch. That’s what it might come to if the NBA and the NBA Players Association don’t reach a collective bargaining agreement. NBA commissioner David Stern is already forced to cancel the first two weeks of games because the two sides have failed to reach a deal.
The NBA has now entered day 111 of its lockout after 16 hours of negotiating on Tuesday. They stilled failed to reach a deal. So what’s next for the NBA?
The players have taken the “Hope for the best prepare for the worst attitude.” NBA Star have already set up six exhibition games around the world to try to keep fans interested in the sport. High School basketball player Riley McNicholas says, "The lockout is a joke, and he is already starting to loose interest." NBA stars are playing in charity games around the country all for the fans and trying to keep their interest up while the union and the NBA battle it out. Fans cannot help but think that both sides would want to get a deal done sooner than later, after all the NBA is coming off its highest rating season in history.
