Talk is cheap. An exception being when you are an NBA owner and chatting about the lockout when you are not supposed to be doing so. Even if your remarks were made in Australia.
The Chicago Luvabulls never are out of season around here.
Michael Jordan, majority owner and operations chief of the Charlotte Bobcats, made remarks last month in the Herald Sun in Australia regarding the lockout and Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut. Former Chicago Bulls star Jordan reportedly was fined $100,000. The league did not reveal the amount but did acknowledge there was a fine.
MJ told the Australian paper:
“The model we’ve been operating under is broken. We have 22 or 23 teams losing money, [so] I think we have gotta come to some kind of understanding in this partnership that we have to realign.
“I can’t say so much … but I know the owners are not going to move off what we feel is very necessary for us to get a deal in place where we can co-exist as partners. We need a lot of financial support throughout the league as well as revenue sharing to keep this business afloat.
“We have stars like Bogut who are entitled to certain type of demands. But for us to be profitable in small markets, we have to be able to win ballgames and build a better basketball team.
“Bogut is a good piece to build around for Milwaukee. I love Bogut’s game. He’s made a very good start and he’s definitely gonna be a star. His big problem is that he’s been dealing with that elbow injury. But he is a star to be reckoned with [and] will be a star for some time.”
OK, enough with all this. How about some video from Luvabulls auditions? You never can go wrong with that.
And one more video for good measure. Or something like that.
