Former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy is worried that nobody cares about the NBA lockout.“You know what I was thinking about … is how very few people care about the NBA lockout,” Van Gundy said on KILT in Houston this week. “You just don’t hear people talk. If it wasn’t on sports talk or ESPN… would anybody even know?
“You have to be careful if you’re both ownership and players—that you realize with the economy and so many other options with your disposable income—don’t think it will always stay like it has. It can go the other way. This is not football. Football has a stranglehold on America right now, NFL football, and rightfully so. It’s 16 games. If you’re a season-ticket holder it’s eight games, or 10 games with the preseason games, and it’s on the weekend.”

Ex-Rockets coach says ‘very few people care about the NBA lockout’ | Sports Update | a Chron.com blog Basis for the poll
 
Nope, couldn't care less. I just wish the Thrashers were here, then I would care, because I would want the NBA to lose the season. Have hockey be the only game in town for a good portion of the season. Oh well.
 
Jeff's an idiot. "Stranglehold" makes it sound as if the NFL makes people watch their games, when the truth is, football is a far superior sport. He's right about one thing, I couldn't give a **** if there's an NBA lockout.
 
I couldn't care less. College ball is so much better
 
I don't care if they never play basketball again, especially pro basketball. I think a lockout is fantastic.

How do you define "superior sport"? More popular?
 
People don't know or care now, but they will once the regular season starts ticking away and the impact it could potentially have on the economy.
 
I didnt answe the poll because of its horrible selectionns.

Yes I care about the NBA as much as any sport I guess.
Yes I knew there was a lockout.

its a bummer if it dramatically effects the season and ill miss it but its not a huge thing for me.

NFL, NBA are my favs
I also watch hockey and baseball

who's your team, Centrist?
 
I don't care if the NBA and everyone in it goes up in flames, to be perfectly honest. Same goes for the NFL, baseball and pretty much every professional sport on the planet.

Well, I would think the more interesting sport would be more the popular one. ;)

But football is more popular than hockey, and hockey is the most interesting sport. Basketball is back tied with curling when it comes to interesting.
 
YES!




 
Basketball's my favorite sport so I really hope they settle this soon. Not sure I can go a whole winter with only college ball.

I don't really think I have a favorite active player, but people have accused me of being a Kobe fanboy :p Honestly I love any guy who competes, plays hard, and isn't a douche.

My team is the Wizards/Bullets.

I love Kobe but I'm not a dickrider if you know what I mean. I just appreciate his skill and accomplishments as a great player.

Well he is definitely a great player thats for sure. Im not a fan of his personally BUT its not like we hang out lol so I dont really know him. But they would NEVER sway my opinion of his basketball skills. He is a great player and when he is down he will go down as a top ten player and even haters will have to have him top 20.
 
Do you mean the NAB, National Association of Broadcasters?

I am a long time member and yes I do care.

No, it's about Basketball? What's that?
