Lockout!!!

Fisher quote:

"As athletes we don't believe that competitive balance is completely decided by an economic system or how much payroll exists on one team or another," Fisher said. "We believe that there are tons of other variables that impact success on the court, so we cannot just address competitive balance through the control or reduction or lower percentage of player salary or a hard tax system that essentially prevents most if not all teams into going into the tax. Those things don't create basketball wins by themselves."

These players are idiots. The rock I pee on when I camp is smarter than some of them are.

I'd even go so far as to say that carolinajazz is smarter than some of them are.
 
If the whole season gets cancelled we are looking at having 4 top 15 pick rookies on the same team. NBA record?

Holy hell this planet is littered with dumb individuals. Assuming there is alien life, do we think other life forms have the same problem?

Is this a serious question? If so, yes. Any ecosystem that manages to evolve intelligence of our level will have similar variance in behavior, if we assume that consciousness is an emergent property of intelligence. It is the price of complexity. It is possible, however, that self-awareness is a unique mechanism that does not have to go along with flexible problem solving paradigms, in which case intelligent life forms elsewhere would not possess such idiosyncrasies. But I digress. I am sure the question is rhetorical.
