Hostage-Holding – The New NBA

Thanks a lot LeBron James.  

Kudos to you too Carmelo Anthony!

Thanks to the idiotic antics of James and Anthony, the NBA has now become a league where players can hold their teams hostage in an extent to force their franchises to trade them to their desired destinations – or else risk losing the player without any compensation.

As I wrote in my Eye on Sports blog, the owners really dropped the ball in limiting player movement in the new CBA agreement, even though it will cost most players a lot more to make these kinds of moves.

Still, I’m sick and tired of ‘wannabe’ superstars trying to form their own ‘super teams’ which is absolutely laughable after seeing how the Miami Heat failed miserably against the superior Dallas Mavericks in last season’s NBA Finals.

This is one of the main reasons why I was with the NBA’s owners in the recently completed NBA lockout.
