I don’t claim to know much about the NBA lockout, but I still find it very interesting. On the surface it seems like your average sports stoppage, overpaid athletes screaming for more money, with deep pocketed owners trying to scam together a way to bring in more cash. After reading some more background information and doing some research, I came to a different conclusion; NBA players are actually underpaid.Think about it. The NBA has never been about the teams, at least not really. Sure the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls all have a rich amount of history and they’ve been the most successful teams in league history. But when most people think of the NBA, they think of Michael Jordan. Jordan isn’t a team (although he now owns one), he was a player. And players are the biggest draw for the NBA. Now, I’m not talking about your run of the mill, 4th best player on an average semi-consistent team, player. I’m talking about superstars. Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dr.J, Scottie Pippen, Kevin Durant. The list goes on and on.
