NEW YORK — While many Californians are unemployed, Don Nelson is ordering assorted healthy Warriors to take a night off from work, with pay, while fans pay full price for tickets as their beloved 20-39 sinkhole disappears deeper below the Pacific Rim.
At a time when NBA commissioner David Stern has bank-borrowed $200 million and made it available to 12 cash-poor clubs, I'm not sure this misappropriation of resources makes much sense.
All that's missing is accompanying bonuses and other undeserved perks to veterans on forced-vacation.
