NBA Season Over, Players Reject Latest Deal

News

It’s pretty over.

The National Basketball Players Association, saying the collective bargaining process has “completely broken down,” served notice to the NBA on Monday that they plan to dissolve and pursue antitrust lawsuits against the league for the 137-day lockout.

“The players feel they’re not prepared to accept any ultimatum,” NBPA executive director Billy Hunter said. “We think it’s extremely unfair to give (players the ultimatum) that they accept (the owners’) proposal or roll back to 47%” from a 50-50 split of basketball-related income.

It appears the 2011-12 season is over as this move likely kills the chances for any playing time for this year.

How glad are you that LeBron and company have to wait another year?!
