Strike

Adam Silver saved not only the league millions if not billions of dollars, but also the black players money, pride, and face. Not to mention ridicule and isolation for those who didn't participate. Nobody needed a boycott during the playoffs. Don't let people like Roland Martin and Steven Smith blow this out of proportion. All they do is talk for a living. They don't play anything anyway.

There were going  to be holdouts with good reason. Lebron James and Chris Paul can afford to be hotheaded.and make an abrupt decision. They make  $17 million a year. But what about the black players making the minimum? There are quite a few. Then you add the people selling tickets and the concession and event staff  They can't afford a strike.
