I wake up at 530 a.m. and found out the lock out is over I am posting this bc I am curious and want everybody's input on this.

"Millionaire vs Billionaire" and the greed of players in general of the players.

The players took a 6% cut, but still!!! have more share of the overall revenue than the owners!!!!!! New(51 vs 49 favor players)

This is the only major sport that I am aware of were the players receive more revenue than the owners!!!

Its like employees making more than the owner in a business or corporation better yet.

Is it bc most players like Lebron James come from a poor background????

You give any guys in their early-mid 20s that kind of money & power, and it'll go to their heads, regardless of race or background. I'm just glad we can finally get down to some basketball, it's the only sport I have a major interest in and the thought of losing the season was too much to bear.

It's because he's from Cleveland. If he stops having money he has to go back there.

Also because he's black. It's just science.

Thats a good point most players go to college for only one year and then go pro to make money and a lot of the play are immature to a degree

But still seriously some of these guys r making 120 million dollars/ 7 year contracts!!!!! thats over 15 million per season!!!!! thats ridiculous
