Monday David Stern and the NBA announced that they will be officially canceling the first two weeks of the NBA's regular season. This comes as no surprise ad they have already canceled the preseason and it appears that the league and players union are light years apart.
With this announcement we have seen a lot more players look more seriously at playing overseas. Kobe Bryant was offered a $2 million contract for 2 games, and other players have been noted as saying more and more they are thinking about playing overseas. Lebron James even sent a tweet to John Clayton inquiring about playing football.
With this I decided to list other jobs NBA players could look into while they are locked out.
Balloon grabber - have you ever gone into a grocery store, or any store that sells balloons for that matter, and seen balloons scattered across the ceiling? These are done pretty talk ceilings aren't they? Well fear a lost balloon no more! Call the most ballooned out NBA star Zach Randolph to easily pull it down.
Kite getter - so it's early spring, you got that new kite for Easter and you want to take it out for the first time. It early in the morning, and although your dad told you he'd take you to the park later, you think what harm would it be to take it out before your dad even wake up? So you go out, put the kite together, and boom! It's stuck in the telephone wire. Have no fear, you can call electric point guard for the Dallas Mavericks, J.J. Barea.
Matador - Bull fighting should certainly gain in popularity with the loss of NBA games. Good thing Jose Calderon, Rudy Fernandez, and Sergio Rodriguez applied for their NBA cards. Oh, that's National Bullfighters Association.
Clown - It's your son's first friend birthday party and you couldn't get slappy the magic clown. Good thing there is a lockout cause Sam Cassell will gladly fill in for him! For a couple extra bucks you can get a clown on stilts, former NBA player Manute Bol.
Monsters - The film industry is always looking for ways to make sci-fi monsters look more realistic. Knowing this, Chris Bosh has already signed on to play the Predator, an other worldly alien, and Medusa.
You see, the NBA lockout just might be a blessing in disguise, just ask the US' new diplomat of foreign affairs Joakim Noah.
