MJ speaks but unlike EF HUTTON...NO NBA PLAYER is LISTENING...and look what MIKE is riding in...GULFSTREAM V Carolina BLUE

Ok the NBA PLAYERS said NO to the latest proposal of a 50-50 SPLit of the BASKETBALL RELATED INCOME....aka BRI. The you ask WHAT IS the BRI mean?

At ABOUT.com the BRI aka Basketbakk Realted Income is this: a TERM used by most NBA TEAMS to describe most of the generated income such as :

TICKET SALES (Regular Season, Exhibition, and PLAYOFFS)

Television Contracts (TNT, ESPN, etc.)

CONCESSIONS

PARKING

"Temporary STADIUM" Advertising

The BRI also includes a portion of the REVENUES generated by stadium naming rights deals, LUXURY SUITES and Fixed Advertising Signage.

And for those of you thinking it's Young Rich BLACK ATHLETES vs WHITE Rich OLD BOY Owners.....the INITIAL SPLIT the OWNERS wanted was a 61% to 39% OWNERS to PLAYERS when coming into talks the PLAYERS had a 56-44 SPLIT.....do the MATH.

Meanwhile Mr. Michael JORDAN aka AIR JORDAN aka JORDAN BRAND aka HIS AIRNESS was quoted as saying if the PLAYERS don't take this deal I would propose a 55-45% Split for the PLAYERS. And of course MIKE now he is an OWNER thinks HIS NAME will bring everything to a closure.

WHAT MIKE needs to do is get a HANDBOOK on EVALUATING TALENT and then if he doesn't want to do that there is always his money maker....BEAVERTON OREGON JORDAN CAMPUS and not his BACKSIDE.

And like MIKE is really hurting...flying in his GULFSTREAM V WHITE with CAROLINA BLUE with the JORDAN LOGO on the TAIL....WOW.

The players have every right to hold PAT and for NBA Commish David STERN to say OK...if the PLAYERS don't take the 50-50 the next deal will be worse......D*** STERN...first it's BILLY walked out on us NOW it's the NEXT DEAL will be WORSE.....WHATEVER.
