Every story has a deadline, and Wednesday's Hoop Scoop was published before I received the following comments from former NBA player David Benoit, who also played in the JBL and bj-league. He also coached the Saitama Broncos and Kyoto Hannaryz before moving on to Qatar, where he's the coach for the Al Sadd Sports Club.
Here's how Benoit views the current impasse between the players association and the owners/David Stern alliance:
"Well, I would like for them to play, but I'm not in the middle of this one," Benoit wrote in an email. "Thank God. This is the end of the NBA as we know it. Things are changing fast all around the world. I think the money or dollar will be worthless soon. America is not the same place I left in 2002. I hope I can watch the NBA soon, because it beats watching the news in horror every hour."
