The NBA Lockout is Affecting Us All

The NBA lockout is affecting all basketball fans and neither side can agree or come up with a solution. Both sides want more money, but the NBA is actually losing money, and so are fans. With no one to work at the games, people are becoming jobless and season ticket holders are not getting what they paid for and rightfully deserve all because of money!

So far, the players alone have lost about 350 million dollars according to nba.com. The NBA has cancelled all games through November 30^th, making a season look very short without a lot of excitement. This disagreement has made people bankrupt and has messed with people’s heads ,as people are thinking that the labor dispute will end, but then a party comes up with an outrageous solution or tries to scam the opposite party and things go all the way back to step number one.

NBA players are even thinking about signing with foreign teams if this dispute doesn't clear up soon. These players include Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, John Wall, Dwight Howard, and even the Miami big 3 (Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, and Chris Bosh).

As the lockout passes day 123, people are really starting to get angry that neither side can come to one conclusion. If the NBA loses stars like this, it could really damage the NBA, and the fans would no longer watch them play for NBA teams. After the recent NFL lockout, some fans have said things, such as NBA is doing it for attention.

When the dispute ends, hopefully the NBA will come back better and more popular than ever.
