My Take on the NBA Lockout.

Here’s the beginning of my post over at Blazersedge.com. I’ve been a member over there for a while…its a great place for Blazer fans…of which I am the most diehard. Dave, one of the site editors, asked for fan takes on the lockout as a part of a larger effort as bloggers to make our fan voice be heard. So I had to weigh in on that one. Enjoy…or catch the whole post over at Blazersedge.

We all know that the lockout is affecting workers…bars…the everyman. Much has been said on the topic about how this goes beyond just fans wanting to see the games. I really want to highlight our youth. We were all there once. And as a fan…a young fan…almost nothing beats interacting with the players on your team, taking pride in your city/town, and most importantly rooting your team on to a win! That would be enough…but trust me…it goes way deeper than that.

Dave asked us to contribute to his collective post…I just wanted to remind them (us) that few things matter most than making a difference in the life of a child. The NBA has a tremendous history of doing so. Why stop that…even temporarily…over money?

Take this story as evidence: Previously, I was the director of an after school program focused on technology. We were three blocks from a high school with a dismal academic record. Our most successful approach in building relationships and getting kids to commit to the disciple of learning new things was centered around video games…primarily NBA Live (and yes…I know 2K is better…now).
