The NBA lockout is over! Sing hallelujah! That is, if you happen to be of an NBA persuasion. And around these parts, we are. We bring in Dan Devine of our estimable Ball Don't Lie blog to talk various elements of the lockout, including:
• Which player benefitted the most from the lockout
• Comparing the NFL and NBA labor stoppages, with thoughts on why the NBA came out looking so much worse than the NFL
• What effect, if any, the lockout might have on YOU, the loyal fan
• How the lockout will shape David Stern's legacy
• What it was like being in the "lockout lobby," the center of the NBA media universe as everyone waited for thrilling news from intense negotiations
• ... plus assorted references to the Muppets, Tony Soprano and other pop-culture touchstones. It's good stuff, and it'll get you ready for the upcoming NBA season (now just three weeks away!)
