The nba board of governors in 2011:

The National Basketball Association is facing the beginning of a new era. Superteams rising and falling. The writing of new legends, and the closing of old. As the association continues to grow on the global stage, more and more people want to get a cut of the cash cow that is professional basketball. Whether it be players, owners, fans, or even referees, money has never been important in the NBA. Considering the myriad of issues that come with the hunt for money, what group could possibly be more qualified to deal with them than a group of billionaires? As the league restructures their collective bargaining agreement, the team owners will have to tackle contract negotiations, catch sneaky referees, and just try to win basketball games to ensure their success in this new era.
