i recall reading an article that paul pierce really wanted to be drafted by vancouver that year too.... ends up being picked #16...
but anyway, to be honest, this lockout has changed my perspective of NBA players completely
they get paid in the millions to play a sport they love, do a job most people couldn't dream of doing, and whine and bitch when they're offered "only" 50% revenue? okay, yes, the team may be profitable (most aren't) and you as the player is the sole reason for that, but isn't it enough that you're blessed to go to work everyday doing something you love? not to mention being paid handsomely for it?
also they're supposed to be role models... wtf kind of example are they setting? i know i'll never boycott the NBA completely cuz i love the game, but i really hate the greed that was behind this whole lockout
