Judging by the NBA’s plunging TV ratings, I am not alone.

So why do you give a shit about this then?

I'd think the NBAPA might want to get together and figure out what they're doing collectively, yeah. This has serious implications on the livelihood of every player in that league.

Hopefully they sit for a substantial period of time and the end resolution is to end the season and give Phoenix the title. some things are bigger than basketball.

If this drags on for a couple of weeks it'll be very interesting to see what Mahomes does or says. We've got the first game on Thursday and he'll effectively be the de facto leader on how the NFL handles this.

How does that soften the blow for LeBron? He's just as guilty as anyone.

Just a guess, but I'm betting the games are back tomorrow. Extending beyond that is painting yourself into a corner.

Use tonight as a boycott/tribute, let people talk about it, and get back on the court before you have to start doing some detailed explanation/expectation.

There’s nobody more outspoken than him though and we all know the NBA moves in accordance with him.

Looks like the NBA didn't move in accordance with him on this. He didn't say anything about a boycott the last two days. This was prompted by the Bucks first and then the dominoes fell with it.
