    NBA union attorney Jeffrey Kessler has apologized for saying that owners are treating players "like plantation workers," adding that he doesn't want to become a distraction during the tense negotiations.

    "The comments that I made in The Washington Post took place in an interview late at night Monday after a very long day," Kessler said in a statement. "Looking back, the words that I used were inappropriate; I did not intend to offend. I was merely passionately advocating for the players."

    After the owners presented a take-it-or-leave-it offer to players, Kessler told the newspaper: "To present that in the context of 'take it or leave it,' in our view, that is not good faith. Instead of treating the players like partners, they're treating them like plantation workers."

    Kessler enraged officials on union and ownership sides with those words. NBPA would be wise to keep him out of the negotiating room today.

    Best part of NBPA attorney Kessler's apology for "plantation" quote: "I did not intend to offend." Yes, he was looking to lighten things up.

    Sons I've said it before and ill say it again. The majority of NBA players would be working dead end or low paying jobs and a good percentage of them would be sitting in a prison cell right now if they couldn't dribble and shoot a basketball. The greed being shown by these uneducated and ignorant players (for the most part) tells us everything that is wrong with professional sports now days.

    em all. Cancel the season please and give me my money back.

    look what Magic said about Stern

    Magic Johnson said it's ''ridiculous'' to suggest David Stern is racist, saying it's OK to disagree with the NBA commissioner but that you ''can't attack the man and what he stands for.''
