Christmas came early for me this year, right at the “official” start of the holiday season no less. On the day after Thanksgiving, the NBPA and the NBA agreed to a new CBA, and the groundwork was set for the 2011-12 season. What does this mean for YOU, the average fan?

It’s October 19th…do you know where your NBA is?

I do — it’s in the hands of bickering billionaires and millionaires. I’m a huge fan of the NBA, and lately it feels like I’m one of about 10 people who care that the NBA most likely won’t play a game until January. What’s going on here? There are two important sides to this travesty, the players and the owners.  You have no idea how often I’ve heard, “So what are they arguing about, do the players want more money?” That drives me nuts.
