Inside the NBA
THE NBA IS MADE UP OF BILLIONAIRE OWNERS, INACCESSIBLE MULTIMILLIONAIRE
PLAYERS AND COACHES WHOSE JOBS ARE SO TENUOUS THAT A DISGRUNTLED
SUPERSTAR CAN GET THEM FIRED. STILL, PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL IS ONE OF
THE MOST POPULAR SPORTS IN THE US AND THE NBA IS GAINING A MONSTROUS,
WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE. EDWARD WEINMAN GOES INSIDE THE LOCKER ROOM OF
ONE OF THE NBA’S ELITE TEAMS, THE PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS.
