The business always gets in the way of basketball.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If there wasn't any business and it was just strictly basketball, then there would be no issue, it would probably be done by now. But the team has to protect.
When it gets down to it, basketball is basketball.
Basketball is basketball.
Everybody in the NBA works on their game. I just tried to follow that lead when I was in high school, college - and now.
The NBA is becoming a global game.
I don't feel like basketball is the only way to make a living.
Kobe enjoys that situation. Stepping up and making the big basket or being involved in a key play.
A lot of NBA owners sit at the midcourt. But we love being under the basket and seeing the players.
Pro basketball is a very mercenary endeavor.
Business is a team sport.
