NBA Lockout is Worse than NFL Lockout

There is not any positive expectation for ending the NBA lockout; and it is confirmed that the result will be ten times more serious than the lockout of NFL. When the NBA forward of Anthony of Minnesota Timberwolves was talking about the NBA lockout, it was unavoidable to mention the labour trouble of NFL happened in March this year. The leading player group of Tom and Drew claimed to dismiss the PA and took the capital part to the court. And today, the same thing happen in the NBA.

The leading player group of the NBA labour is hoping to learn more from the NFL lockout. Last week, the NBPA had claimed to solve the case by court. They are looking forward to receive a result which is beneficial to them after the court. Although the the case of NBA lockout is undergone by law, the both sides are going to have several discussions in order to have a good result.

The difference between the tough result of NFL lockout and NBA lockout is that the NFL just lost one game, but the NBA will lose the whole season. It is widely known to all that how big lose this will cause. The NBA items market referring to NBA Shoes, NBA Jerseys and NBA related gears is great all over the world. 

Not only the producers of NBA items will be toughly affected by the NBA lockout, but also NBA players and staffs of basketball stadiums are bearing great economic burden. After the president of NBA David Stern said before to the public that the 2011-12 season is possibly canceled, NBA players did not get their regular salary twice a month and the workers of the basketball stadiums were facing financial problem even before the NBA lockout.

What's more, the NBA fans will be upset if the cancellation of the whole 2011-12 NBA season does happen. For some of the basketball fans, NBA means much more than just a game of win or lose; it is kind of dream, hope and belief. Started from the first release of possible NBA lockout, lots of fans are keeping complaining at the case.

High-tech basketball shoes banned by NBA

High-tech NBA Shoes are banned by NBA? Advertising is a funny thing. Somebody once said that there is no such thing as bad publicity, and that is being proved today in the news and on blogs nation-wide.

Athletic Propulsion Labs has designed and produced a new kind of shoe for basketball players. It is not uncommon for a sports shoe manufacturer to imply that you can run faster, jump higher, and perform better all around with whatever shoe they have to sell.

This time, it seems, there is some truth to it. The Concept 1 shoe at $300 a pair has been designed to help increase the wearer's vertical jump, and they show the results of the study of a pair of PHDs on their site.
While the results shown are not a radical increase in the height of a jump, if the numbers are true, the amount of increase is significant statistically. The self-funded and presented report is not what sells this expensive shoe. What sells it is the NBA's decision to BAN the shoe from professional sports.

One blogger had the opportunity to try out these new shoes, and wrote a glowing review of them.  LALate is discussing why these shows are being banned from play by the NBA, and The Business Insider Sports Page agrees with us that the NBA's move to ban this shoe will pretty much ensure that they are commercial success.

While an endorsement by the NBA would have been a real feather in their caps, Athletic Propulsion Labs will not, at the end of the day, be hurt in any way by the banning of the Concept 1 shoe.

More to the point, as there are a great many more basketball player wannabes than there are professional players, the non-pro market is an incredible niche to be in. We foresee that the Concept 1 shoe, and those that come after it, will be a huge success. We are guessing that even now knockoff shoes are being planned, and possibly are already on the way to the market.

LeBron Shoe is better than Kobe Shoe

When you are looking for a pair of basketball sneakers, you will come across lots of sale message from the internet, and the most mentioned shoes are always Kobe Bryant Shoes and LeBron James Shoes. There are so many people keen on the comparison between Kobe and LeBron on the court, and it spans to the sneakers market under their signature shoes.

It is still a hot discussion of who is the best between James and Bryant. Different people have different ideas, of course. As a James’s fan, he/she will not buy a pair of Kobe Shoes, anyway. However, James seems much humor than Bryant that, he said himself that he’s got the better shoes than Kobe, because his signature shoe is more valuable for the market 30USD more than Kobe’s for the last Christmas Days.

Let’s look at some related information that the Nike Company released three special models for Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James for the Christmas; the shoes are sold at $88, $130 and $160 respectively. They are Zoom KD III, Zoom Kobe VI and Air Max LeBron VIII.

There are some reasons that James had his words that he had the better NBA Shoes than Bryant. "It's a better shoe" James said Friday after a practice at UCLA on the eve of Miami's Christmas Day battle with Bryant's Lakers at the Staples Center. "Because it's LeBron James Shoes. It's got my name on it. I take pride in my shoes every year and I've always taken pride in having the best shoe. So they're going to cost a little more if you decide to wear them.''

Now we can see a sharp shoe battle between LeBron and Kobe. As to what Bryant thinks of that, it is so far unclear. Apart from the shoe battle, there is a rivalry between them, on the NBA Court; and which is the most attractive affairs to the NBA Fans. The NBA General Season continues, and we will finally find out who will be the one that deserve the public's appreciation and good words. However, it is clearly that both James and Bryant have much more to do before they get their great fame.
