New Nike Commercial: "Basketball Never Stops"

Seems like Nike is making a statement with their recent commercial. Since the owners don't want to reach an agreement with the players, Nike decided to gather a couple of players  for new commercial. NBA all stars such as Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, Lebron James, and Amare Stoudamire is helping Nike send a message "Basketball Never Stops." Coach K from Duke, rapper J.Cole, and Root member/drummer Questlove make an appearance in the commercial. Quest is shown spinning a basketball with his famous hair pic.

Will And Jada Become Partial Owners Of The Philadelphia 76ers

The smiths are moving on up. Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are part owners of the basketball franchise Philadelphia 76ers. Now obviously, Philly is where the fresh prince would do such a deal, since he is a Philly native. The lovely couple were approved of their $280 million NBA deal. 

This ownership deal will include the Smiths and billionaire Jousha Harris. Recently, Joshua Harris released his excitement about the deal in a brief statement:

First Two Weeks Of 2011-2012 NBA Season Canceled

Negotiators for both sides of the NBA lockout met in New York for 13 hours to reach a deal before the start of the NBA season. Participants of the meeting included NBA commissioner David Stern, a couple of owners (San Antonio owner Peter Holt, New York Knicks owner James Dolan, and Minnesota Timberwolves Glen Taylor) along with NBA Officials Rick Buchanan and Dan Rube, while the NBA union side were union executive director Billy Hunter, L.A Lakers/Union president Derek Fisher, vice president Maurice Evans, and lawyers Jeffrey Kessler and Ron Klempner. Last week, Stern set a Monday deadline to reach an agreement. Unfortunately, they were unable to reach a deal for the split of basketball relation income, which led the commissioner to cancel the first two weeks of the 2011-2012 NBA season. David Stern made the announcement about the cancellation around 10 pm last night.

"We certainly hope it would never come to this. I think that both sides worked hard to get a better solution."

NBA union executive director Billy Hunter doesn't feel that the entire 2011-2012 NBA season is in trouble. However, the union has been preparing for the worst to happen, similar to the shortened 1998-1999 basketball season.  He told reporters:

"We probably need to miss a few games in order for them to be convinced that there is resolve among the players. While we don't want to be out here, our players are not going to fall apart. We've spend two and half years getting them ready. This is the worst-case scenario."
