NBA Lock out

I am a fan of NBA basketball so it saddens me that there is a lockout season on the way...

What? A lock out?

Whats that?

Is that when a team don't allow points in one game?

That was not my initial reaction, but I didn't quite understand what is a lockout season, why is it happening etc.

So I did my research on the lock out season and guess what, the best site to go is NBA.com

Everything you need to know about whats happening and what are the problems are found there. I want to salute the people who worked on the NBA.com website they are doing an absolutely great job by dissipating information to fans. That's not the best part, the best part is the information given is very straight forward and simple.

No big words involve or crazy terms where only a lawyer you hire would read the stuff all night to freaking understand the problem.

Here's my understanding of the lockout season. Basically, nobody can play basketball professionally in the league (not even to use the teams facilities) because the Collective Bargaining Agreement or CBA is not met. The players and the owners could not reach the agreement so the Big dogs (owners) say aite's lil' dogs well just close the season until an agreement is met.

This is all about the salary. The owners want a better deal because they don't want to pay so much for someone say like a Mike Bibby who is at the tail end of his career ( I am not saying Mike Bibby Sucks, he is an exceptional player) so that the money can be use to build better squads.

So that's basically it. They need to reach an agreement on the CBA because this lockout will effect a heck lot of people.We must remember that basketball in america is a billion dollar business so man we be losing a lot of money if they had a long lock out.
