NBA: Dennis Rodman On Lockout, ?Players Should Bow Down?

Posted By: Sabrina B.?@gametimegirl

Dennis Rodman says the owners are at fault in the NBA lockout, but the players should ease their demands to help end the dispute that has already cost the league the first two weeks of the season.

?I think the players should bow down,? he said Thursday.

Rodman was a guest at the post-position draw at Woodbine Racetrack for Sunday?s Pattison Canadian International, the most lucrative horse race in Canada.

?It?s not the players? fault, it?s the owners? fault and I think (the players) should give a little bit,? the Hall of Famer said. ?And that way, things will move on.?

Rodman, a seven-time rebounding champion, was in the league in 1999 when the season was cut to 50 games because of a lockout. He questions the resolve of the players.

?Most players don?t give a damn about the game,? he said. ?They want the money and all of a sudden they want unity. I?m not taking the owners? side. I think the players should look at themselves.?

Negotiations have stalled over the structure of the salary cap system and the division of revenues between owners and players.

Calling it a ?very touchy situation,? Rodman said times have changed since the last labor disruption.

?Now you?ve got maybe 10 teams that are making money,? he said.
