ESPN reports 73% of people polled DID NOT care if the NBA season started on time.

Former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy is worried that nobody cares about the NBA lockout.

“You know what I was thinking about … is how very few people care about the NBA lockout,” Van Gundy said on KILT in Houston this week. “You just don’t hear people talk. If it wasn’t on sports talk or ESPN… would anybody even know?

Here is a Yahoo Question

Why does nobody care about the NBA lockout?

I am just basing this off of the NFL lockout. With the NFL lockout they constantly talked about it on ESPN and other media sources, havn’t really heard much about the NBA lockout. I remember during the NFL lockout the football section was full of lockout related questions, not much here. Why? Thoughts?
Here are the answers
  1. I think networks like ESPN do care — they just don’t have anything new to report on it at the moment.
    I’m sure ESPN is itching to get some NBA
  2. Well, there’s nothing really new with the NBA lockout. No progress really.
    People like the NFL more than NBA
    I personally like the NBA more.
  3. Because Football is only played here. so their players will have to do everything to keep playing, while NBA players can just go and play overseas
  4. Because nobody cares about the NBA
  5. I totally agree… Espn was all over the nfls nuts buy maybe they’ll do it when it comes closer

The former walk-on guard surprised nearly everyone Wednesday by announcing that he plans to focus on his studies, just a few months after Illinois coach Bruce Weber said Jordan had a chance to earn more playing time and even a leadership role during his junior year.
