what do you think of where the league is at this moment? it seems like they are coming off one of the best years they have ever had and this is a crazy time for them to be doing this. it s a remarkably healthy league. fifth highest attendance ever, some of the highest playoff ratings we ve ever seen. this is why the current split right now, chris, is not between players and management, it s between some owners and other owners, because there s a group of owners saying wow, we re playing with hot dice, let s keep this going, but other owners, particularly owners of the boston celtics, golden state warriors, cleveland cavaliers, relatively new owners that paid relatively a lot of money for their franchise to get a collective bargaining agreement. i don t know if that s ethical, but it s not illegal.
