    Thanks for continuing to school me on how all this NBA stuff works. I agree with your games-played contingency, that definitely sounds like it could be a helpful motivator for a lot of guys who otherwise seem to have been lacking finding motivation to want to play. Here's hoping for no lockouts and that both sides can agree on making their distinct fortunes. You are easily one of my favorite UA-camrs, thankful for you and your channel. Hope you have a happy thanksgiving.

      Yeah, I think fans like us ultimately watch basketball because we want to watch people who are the best at what they do and love the game dearly. When it starts to feel like they are more concerned about the money it loses the magic. I still understand it though. thanks Skylar! Hope you have a great thanksgiving too!

      thanks! I appreciate it. I don't know much about the subject before the video. I pick a topic and then do the research. A lot of blogs and such. Sometimes I use wikipedia, but keep that a secret. haha

    Excellent video. In the EPL, 25% of revenue is a "merit payment" where every additional place up in the standings nets you more revenue. I think this could help stop tanking, incentivize teams to actually try and win. I think the GP thing should only be for awards so like 70 games is needed to get all nba and like 48 games for all star, both of these things are tied into how big a contract you can sign already

      I really like this idea. I love relegation as well. You really see the effects of a team losing status like in the show "Sunderland til I die."

      @@whatslaps Relegation will probably never happen in US sports except for maybe MLS. Owners would never intentionally devalue their asset which is what relegation would do bc lower tier clubs get less tv money. I think it'd be great but the league is all about maintaining power and stability. In Scotland Rangers, the second biggest club in the league went bankrupt and had to be reformed and spend 4 years climbing back up. Everything from the salary cap to the draft is designed to stop this kind of thing from happening

      yeah, it's gotta be there from the inception. No member of an organization would agree to increasing competition.

    Im guessing drug testing was for public image. If one of your guys gets caught with Marijuana then its gonna look bad for your team, especially during that time period where Anti-Drug beliefs were very common

    even if the players are related to the staff they can stop them from being able to be with their family?

    • @whatslaps

      apparently there was some sort of situation during the NFL lockout with a father/son-in-law dynamic that made it so the family couldn't spend time together. pretty interesting stuff.

    No. Exploitation and extorsion are. Striking is a socialist/communist way of reminding the bosses who is actually in charge.
