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

You know nothing about the NBA. The players aren't solely to be blamed for the lack of profit.
You think they're making easy money? Think again.
And they're pretty good role models with the amount of charity they've been doing. Given the lives they have contributed to change, better than you that's for sure.
Lockouts apply to any league sports, not just the NBA.
