Another lockout? What?! The interesting thinking about the NBA lockout compared to the NFL lockout, is that both parties, the NBA players, and David Stern have been there before. Being that its day one everyone will be assuming that the NFL lockout will last longer than the NBA. However one interesting note would be that there are some new NBA owners since the last NBA lockout. For example, the owner of the Phoenix Suns and the New Jersey nets whether this will make the talks go faster or slower, this is yet to be determined. However, one thing to keep in mind from the last NBA lockout would be to see how the players. For example Vin Baker and Shawn Kemp both were scrutinized after the last lockout for gaining weight and getting out of shape. This after Vin Baker being an all star and Shawn Kemp signing a hundred million dollar contract with the wizard. The crazy part out of all of this is that 2 out of the 4 major American sports, are in a lockout as of today. The United states government has already gotten involved with the NFL processes, it’ll be interesting to see if the NBA follows the same path.
