It was a typical Friday night as I wondered what I was doing up at 3 am on Twitter of all places. Suddenly, Ken Berger, NBA insider from CBS Sports, tweeted: “Tentative agreement reached, according to one of the negotiators” for the NBA lockout.
I was skeptical and quickly remembered when Ron Artest tweeted the same thing a few weeks ago as a joke. However, reporters from major news outlets such as the New York Times and the Miami Herald soon confirmed this. An hour later, the news was up on the official NBA website.
“All I feel right now is ‘Finally,’” Dwayne Wade told the Associated Press. “Finally”—a word that sums up how everyone with an interest in the NBA feels right now.
So after 149 days, the NBA will begin preparing itself for a 66-game season.
“We're optimistic that will all come to pass and that the NBA season will begin Dec. 25,” Commissioner David Stern said. Training camp will be starting as soon as Dec. 9.
National Post writer Bruce Arthur put it best: “Somewhere a lot of players just jumped on a treadmill and got to sweating the bacon out.”
