"We accept 51% of BRI and begin to play"

Glen Davis has put it clearly on Twitter: "We accept the 51% and start playing." The power forward for the Boston Celtics refers to BRI (basketball revenues) , one of the thorny issues in the negotiations between the union and the owners of NBA franchises.

In the previous collective agreement, the basketball players perceived the 57% of the benefits and the remaining 43% equipment . Each percentage point represents about 40 million dollars.

With these words, Davis has confounded in a sense the players' union head Billy Hunter and Derek Fisher , who, to date, have given up only 52.5% of BRI. Some voices are already talking about a breakdown in the unity of opinion among basketball players. Be seen to what just next meeting.
