On top of this, the future does not look any brighter since the players are adamant on receiving 53% of basketball-related income while the owners will only give in to a 50-50 split. A meeting between the owners and players with a federal mediator is scheduled for Tuesday, but previous meetings have not gone well.
Derek Fisher, LeBron James, and Chris Paul are just a few of the NBA players who have tweeted "#standunited" and "letusplay" to persuade the owners to come to an agreement as quickly as possible.
Only time will tell if a deal does get done, but in the meantime watch an interview with Hawks C Zaza Pachulia. Remember that epic series between the Celtics and Hawks that went to seven games? Well this interview takes place after the Hawks pulled out a win in Game 6 of the first round of 2008 NBA Playoffs.If anyone can understand what he is saying, please let me know.
