Lockout Done

Finally the lockout has come to an end. The lockout lasted 149 days. It caused almost two months of NBA action to be missed. But now the all-star players are ready to get back and start to practice. Being said, it had ended on Thanksgiving. Starting back on Christmas day or some where around that time of the month. I am very happy that the lockout is over because I was getting very tired of watching the NFL. Even though i like football, I would prefer basketball to be my number one sport. Now I can watch my top five players dominate the game again and win the MVP award. It took a 15-hour session pitched between the NBA and player representatives in New York that spilled over from Friday into early Saturday morning. It took nearly half a year, from pre-Draft negotiations in early summer spread nearly into the precipice of a chilly East Coast winter.It took a 15-hour session pitched between the NBA and player representatives in New York that spilled over from Friday into early Saturday morning.

Instead of the NBA having a eighty-two game season, it will now have a sixty-six game season. According to free agency and training camps, they both will start on December 9, 2011. One thing that stays the same is the All-Star game. It will still be held in Orlando on February 26, 2012. One thing is ruined because of this tragedy. That is the NBA players paycheck. They will miss at least two paychecks. This is what the lockout was about.
