(Commissioner Stern: 1998)The last time the NBA experienced an extended lockout was in 1998. In an attempt to put the current lockout into perspective, let’s compare our current labor negotiations to those of 1998.
September 24, was a key date in 1998. It was the day that the NBA canceled 24 preseason games and postponed team training camps indefinitely.
A similar bridge was crossed one day earlier this time around. Last Friday, September 23, the NBA canceled 43 preseason games and postponed the start of training camps. It is surprising how eerily similar the time lines of the two lockouts are shaping up.
This will be a common feature in NBA Lockout Talk. Please leave suggestions in the comment section of different lockout topics you would like to read about and discuss!
