How do you break the strangle hold? He offered nothing. Maybe it's helpful that someone with his stature and name recognition is bringing attention to the problem.

i think it's huge that someone of his stature is saying something. and kobe has such a basketball mind, like SP said, that one can hope he can start working with the league post-retirement to help find solutions to these problems. plus, he's such a valuable league ambassador i don't see how Silver isn't offering him a job. shite, he could be commissioner one day.
