The Players Are Starting To Melt Down In This CBA Fight

[DPG21920]

Only a few Laker fans give her courtesy laughs.

Kobe would certainly be a case study for a psychologist.

All alone, hands jammed in his pockets, dressed for an occasion.

What's interesting about this pic is related to Laker players...Fish and Kobe being outstanding...( NO Pun)

seriously Kobe is the Don of the league so this pic is nothing more than the Godfather not getting his hands dirty. Kobe knows he'll need Stern to settle his Zebra's down like he did in 2010....all he needs is 2 more and then you'll see the real Kobe....and the real Kobe is closer to the Kool mentality...

[Koolaid_Man]

Kool's obsessive concern for this issue to be resolved in favor of the players is not because he wants there to be a season, like many basketball fans, but because he strongly identifies with those players who irresponsibly spend their money on frivolous bull and who would be otherwise broke if they didn't happen to win the genetic lottery.

Kool sees himself much like an African-American NBA player. A person who has essentially been fed with a silver spoon since birth and is horrified at the idea of it suddenly being taken away. In his case, mommy and daddy are his silver spoon, feeding their baby boy the good life since he was able to suck down his first puree'd banana. It's also why Kool is a strong proponent of socialism and wealth distribution. He's knows he's ed if mommy and daddy lose their fortune or decide to cut him off, much like these particular NBA players know they're ed if the sport of basketball ceased to exist.

Duncan, Dirk, and many of the NBA's white/whiter players haven't shown interest or solidarity because by virtue of their larger, less impulsive brains, they spent their money wisely and see no point in standing alongside those who went full chimp re with their savings.

Even Kobe, a de facto white guy, looks ashamed to be included with those mooks.

Isn't it the American Way mid? Who do you think is taking care of Jim Buss...and for the record don't I take care of you mid...

Seriously you say you beleive in Capitalism yet you fight against young brothers who ( in a sense) put their lives on the line and risk major and sometimes career ending injuries...you fight against them from getting their hard earned money...are the only people en led to earn / make money in this world white?

You're right about something here...I'm more concerned with these guys getting their money...I consider myself a player ( ) yes I do....and I appreciate what they bring...they would feel the same for me if I played in the league... I don't pay to see the owners and neither do you..I could give two s about who the owners actually are anyway they bring no excitement to my life...except Jerry Buss...

If the players lose this fight...I hope some of them don't work as hard and perhaps half ass it to stick it to the owners...Now ask yourself...Why would Kool say this...well because I know there are certain players that love the game so much that if it absolutely came down to it...they'd play for free and Kobe is one of those players.

So other players half assing it to stick it to the owners is another win / benefit / advantage for Kool and his Lakeshow gang.

Let them play with dignity, get the money, and entertain us all...

The owners...they can eat cake..

I just lament for Bryant. He was on schedule until Eagle. It got away from him there. I was surprised that he took action so decidedly though. Had to be either his father, or, his wife.

He had everything going his way:::Had his independence. Had his beautiful wife. Had his extracurricular slap & tickle strange wool all over the world. Had his profession. Had his three peat. Had his Daddy. All of it pure & good. No one had put their filthy hands on any of the segments.

Nothing was left pure & good. It was all destroyed, or, touched and spoiled.

It can get away from you quick. A cautionary tale for sure.

[Koolaid_Man]

He likes to wear pants with elastic bands for occasions like Colorado. It's just more efficient...

for the record this is your best work yet...

Don't feel bad for him Cully...that pussy gets many of us caught up...it's still a mystery why that is so good...it causes us to do crazy things Cull...

in fact didn't Adam sell us into sin and slavery over a piece of Eve's ass...and I bet Eve was finer than a mutha er...naked and all in the garden.... happens my man..

I'm just glad he wasn't accused of assaulting Bob...that would have shook my world to it's very foundations...in fact I wouldn't be here to this day...

[Giuseppe]

Kool with the goods.

Ain't nothin' like the beaver. It's a true wonderment upon the earth.

[LnGrrrR]

It will be a different NBA after this is over. When you've had a 14 incher stuffed in your ass without the pretense of lubrication (anybody see DoK, or, Swordsy?) some hard hearts will linger forever more. The players will sign, but, they won't forget.

See Culby, told you we'd miss games.

[Giuseppe]

^I wasn't convinced until I listened to Stern the other night. He's intractable.

[hater]

3 combined years of college.

Stern had those little niglets for breakfast. He probably took Bean Bryant down with the first bite and Bean was like "I don't want none of this. retreat! retreat!"

[jag]

During one of the single biggest meetings (last week, on Tuesday), Hunter had Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce and Garnett (combined years spent in college: three) negotiate directly with Stern

hmm.. let's see here:

Outside of Kobe, I wouldn't be surprised if Pierce and Garnett can neither read or write. And they are entering into billion dollar negotiations with a Jew from New York who graduated from Rutgers and then went on to graduate from Columbia Law. Oh yeah, it's that guy and all of his attorneys. Talk about a recipe for success. The player's union knows exactly what they're doing.

We got this guy:



and this guy


...negotiating with these guys:





The best thing they had going for them was a mentally unstable Kobe Bryant who decided to wear a track suit and who's busy trying to figure out what Jordan would do in that situation.

[Giuseppe]

...& yet somehow the last time they left with 57% of the money.

tee, hee.

[jag]

...& yet somehow the last time they left with 57% of the money.

I have a strange feeling that this guy



...was not the one pulling the strings during the last labor negotiations.

[hater]

Duncan never bothered to show up, much like to defend his le, and in the Olympics.

Like any educated college graduate, Duncan let's his lawyers and elected officials do the fighting for him. that's what they're for.

LMAO 1-year-college-drop-off-re ed-hood-rats trying to negotiate labor agreements

this ain't vietnam mother er

[Giuseppe]

...well, they unbuckled Stern's pants last time and left 'em on his ankles.

Could happen again.

The economic situation was a lot different last time. I don't know if NBA players can become as irrelevant as NHL players, but damnit they're trying.

& Stern ain't bent over the sink throwin' up with said pants on his ankles.

DoK, yes. Stern, no.

tee, hee.

[Koolaid_Man]

KG is just emotional that's all...but tbh he doesn't seem like the type to come to a meeting like this prepared. He's just raw emotion..I meet him several years back in Vegas at the Venetian Casino for a weekend in Vegas that was Dubbed "Pimping Ho's weekend in Vegas"...

KG was definately pimping with his crew....he's definitely the type of cat I would hang out with..He's just a down ass and he got my respect just like Kobe...

[Spur_Fanatic]

Ignore Kool, he pretends he is black and supports the players only 'cause he thinks they would do the same for him if he were in the league.

I'm seriously starting to like Stern more and more. All-common sense. No bull . He wants too fix the teams on the red, and only way to do so is a better deal with the players, while trying to make the league compe ive. Solution: Harder cap.

The players on the other hand don't give a damn about the sport, yet they pretend they do. Strange how reluctant they are to accept a hard cap, how stupidly they think "everyone loses if no agreement is reached". Newsflash, 22 of the 30 teams that are in the red are right now not exactly losing right now. They actually pretty happy without a agreement right now, specially a bad deal.

Plus, the idea that the owners are in disagreement... Sure, Dolan and Buss are probably happier with a compromise with the players, but who cares? They'll follow the other 28 teams at the end.

These owners are too dumb to not realize how stupid it would be to cancel an NBA season. And the players are too dumb to realize how good they have it right now.
