Biggest star in the league starts flipping waterbottles of the sideline of the team with the biggest egos in the front office of the league, whose star player is the NBPA vice -president :sas1:

I wonder what that late snag could be :sas2:

:jbhmm: :sadbron: :ld::pachaha:

Goddammit we have to watch lebron and phil play chess with the entire league

Phil Jackson/James Dolan: "Yeaaah I don't think any of those ideas are good anymore. :troll:"

Players need to opt out and deman independent artibraition for discipline.
Player representatives from each team need to have voting share on rule changes, equipment changes, and etc.
Reclassification of drug listing, take marijuana off prohibited substance list entirely.
Allow players in drug treatment program to be around team facilities and team in meetings and etc.

Agreed. But you forgot that we need to get Delonte West a goddamn therapist.
I wouldn't even be opposed to some post-league pension. 401k that shyt because a lot of these guys go broke and it's sad as fukk. Meanwhile their "owners" remain fat and happy. Players are making millions, it should be preventable.

And you can't expect them to be the most financially responsible dudes because you're taking them right out of highschool or making them quit 2 years ahead of graduating college, where the 2 years they did spend the majority of the time was spent playing basketball instead of learning.

It's even worse with the NFL :wow: that shyt's a national travesty and Teddy Roosevelt was right in banning it a hundred years ago. Go Raidahz tho :yeshrug:

Like in baseball? OK, though it already exists, just only after a certain amount of games.

Players change teams all the time, hence a union.

:laff: good luck. You're fighting the wrong battle here.

If you're in drug treatment, you can't leave your grounds. That's the whole point of those facilities. Otherwise they'd just send shrinks to your house.

If the NBAPA wants to work with a bank or investment house to create a 401k or pension fund fine, but it should be voluntary for the players how much they want to put in it.

As for going broke, I disagree with you entirely. They go broke because of their own decisions, and I'm not going to try to infantilize grown men on some they need protection from themselves tip.

As for the NFL they deserve everyth fukked up thing that happens to them, its their own fault that so many only care about the next check instead of the big picture fukk them.
