Men love lists. As such I ask you: who's the greatest baller in basketball history?
What Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and company haven't been able to do is find a deal with the NBA that they find acceptable enough to play real games again.
Three days and 30 hours' worth of talks couldn't produce a new labor deal, so NBA owners and players walked away without knowing when they will meet again.
