Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think the NBA will self implode. As the old guard leaves it will just increase the spotlight on some of the other high profile players. Face it, Chris Webber, Alan Iverson, Latrell Sprewell, etc. don't have the character to stand in the public spotlight. Who wants their kids to grow to be like these guys? Think about it.

The only thing I will miss this year is the chance to see my Lakes be crowned champs. But in order for that to happen Kobe will have to go off probably and then someone will be compelled to pay him $100 mill+ and we will have another 21 year old with more money than he will know what to do with...

Re: Anyone miss the NBA? Yeah. NBC.

I remember reading when NBC/TNT signed the new TV contract, they both have to pay the NBA $$$ even if there are no games. Guess the NBA seen this coming, the networks didn't.

Wonder who signed that contract. <g>
