What about NASCAR drivers? Aren’t they supposed to be rallying around him, too?

the legions of flacks, opposition researchers and lawyers needed to get the right spin on the 'facts', the dirt on the opponent

he'll get a couple of billion dollars worth of that from the media.

I’m proud to say that I’ve never once heard of a single one of them.

Another reason to hate the NBA.

More than likely the money is not going directly toward his campaign, where you’re correct that it’d be capped at $2500. It’s probably going to the DNC, or a similar organization, where there basically is no limit.

The result is the same, though.

Surprised this hasn’t been cancelled due to the lockout being settled. It still may yet.

Is this ok with the owners? Just saying......Rush Limbaugh could not buy in to a football franchise because of his politics. He was stopped dead in his tracks and I believe it was instigated by the NAACP. What in the hell are the double standards in this country?

There sure is a lot of hatred for the NBA here.

I have no problem with people getting rich playing basketball.

“I have no problem with people getting rich playing basketball.”

Is this what thugs consider “spreading their wealth?”

Most NBA players are not thugs. Some are.

These wealthy NBA players are not paying their fair share, but the cowardly media will not ask them to pony up.

I have no problem with people getting rich selling $200 basketball shoes to welfare kids.

Oh stop, this is making me ill. Most are thugs, some aren’t, but I will tell you what, one is too many.
