Aaron and Arman's Emotional NBA Lockout Diary: DAY TWELVE: Let's Talk

Arman is playing keys all day. That’s not an emotion or a thing, unless you know the reference.

One of the strangest things was getting a tour of an under remodel house and knowing for a fact that all of this was getting paid by drug money. I didn’t know either of the owners as drug lords nor did I ever hear that they drugs from anyone, but when one of them turns to you and says, “It was a really good year, (BLANK) sold all of his pills,” it really makes you think. Drug use is a terrible thing, especially when it’s not specifically sex on ex. If it’s sex on ex, then at least it’s understandable and desirable. Anything else is dumb. Heroin, is the dumbest because you have to physically puncture yourself. If I was dying from poison and the antidote was in a needle, I would have my reservations. Anyways, NBA Lockout. What am I trying to get at? Oh yeah, everyone participating in the NBA Lockout right now is fucked on something.

I might be going out on a limb, but I mean the Players Union and the Owners met for 12 hours yesterday and came up with absolutely no deal. And they’re meeting again today. Are you SERIOUSLY trying to tell me that there are a group of people in this world that potentially like being around another group of people for potentially 24 hours in 2 days? And if you are trying to tell me that, I’m telling you drugs are involved. David Stern came into that room with a 50/50 deal on Monday and left that room with a hankering for more time in that room. David Stern, the same guy who flipped out when Allen Iverson would wear clothes that would fit Shaq and implemented a dress code.

BALLAH!!!!

David Stern was straight told he was wrong by the Players Union and David Stern’s response is, “Let’s hang out more!”

1) At this point it’s either drugs

2) A crush on Chris Paul

Don't look in the eyes. You'll fall in love.

3) Or David Stern is trying to pull a Michael Corleone on everyone in the room.

It’s impossible to say.

On a brighter note, let’s talk about the good that these extremely long meetings are having on ending the NBA Lockout. Ah, right, THERE IS NO GOOD! You spend that much time with ANYONE you are going to hate their face after a while. Unless love is involved (and even then), no one wants to see another person for that much time. It’s a waste of a life. And if I’m a basketball player in the middle of an NBA Lockout there are only two things I want to do:

1) Play pickup basketball
2) Have a lot of sex with a lot of girls

Tell me how they can do either of these in a conference room full of old people, Mark Cuban and Michael Jordan.
