In New York "star players" from various teams met at the Westin Hotel to discuss the latest contract offer. Players rejected the offer and Los Angeles Laker Derek Fisher who is the Union President spoke on behalf of the group saying "we want to make it clear to our fans, although we chose this today we have not chosen to be in this position." That leaves season 2011-2012 in jeopardy and players officially locked out 138 days. After the conference, Commissioner David Stern issued a statement that the NBA filed an "unfair labor practice" and that "the union was not bargaining in good faith." This decision ends another month of cancelled games and disappointed fans.
