Jordan Schultz On MSNBC's The Daily Rundown Discussing 2011 NBA Lockout (VIDEO)

HuffPost Sports Columnist Jordan Schultz joined Chuck Todd and The Daily Rundown on MSNBC to discuss the NBA Lockout Wednesday morning.

Schultz broke down the highly dysfunctional relationship between the two owners and players, namely the lack of revenue sharing and guaranteed contracts and, how they in turn decrease the parity of the NBA game.

Speaking of parity, Schultz discussed many of the troubles which small market franchises endure, and how since David Stern took over as commissioner 28 years ago, there have been a mere eight organizations to win a championship.

On one other note, Schultz also shed light on the fans, whom he called, 'the elephant in the room' because of how long they've supported these inequities and fractured relationships throughout the league.

Get rid of Stern and have the refs call the games fairly as opposed to giving so much favoritism to star players and big market teams. The NBA hasn't had any credibility in more than a decade, that needs to change.

When Will The NBA Lockout End?..................Who cares? NBA, NFL, etc are nothing more than diversions that prevent many people from seeing what's really happening in this country, as the Middle Class slides further and further down the toilet. Who has time to watch a bunch of pampered, short-pants wearing, multimillionaires run around? Besides, the NBA has almost become the equivalent of the WWF

There needs to be a hard salary cap. It works in the NHL and each team is fairly competitive. Having a team be at 500 and making the playoffs is a joke.
