Twas the NIght Before the Season

'Twas the Night Before the Season,
when all through the league
all rookies were stirring,
for the season to begin;

The preseason ended
with nothing to note
but injuries to players
with all-star votes

There's Kobe with his knee
Nash sprained his ankle twice
D-Will's out two weeks
It doesn't look nice

When out in New York
David Stern fills his pockets,
All fans of the league 
cry please oh please stop it

With a little old comissioner
so greedy and slick
Fans knew in a moment
their pleas wouldn't stick

Now Kobe! Now Lebron!
Now Garnett and Melo!
On, Paul!  On, Shaq!
On Dirk! and  Memo!

To the top of the hoop
to the  top  of the ball
now, play away! Play away!
Play away all!

The preseason is over was it worth it? Or was it just another way for Stern to make money?
