Barring a miraculous federal mediator solving the NBA's problems in a matter of days, the NBA lockout will continue.
It's been four months. We're past the 100-day mark.
The looonnnnggg break means one thing for NBA players (other than lighter pockets) - a lot of free time.
So how are they spending it?
Everyone's finding unique ways to keep in basketball shape. But many are also trying out their acting chops. Some are working on their rap game. And others have actually taken up internships.
Players have played ball overseas
Derrick Rose and Kobe Bryant have already barnstormed the world...together.
Scores of other players have signed or are in the process of signing contracts with foreign teams, including names like Deron Williams, with Turkey's Besiktas.
And Bryant continues to be in an on-again, off-again discussion to play in Italy.
They've also dominated the playground scene
For those unwilling to leave the country, rec leagues and playgrounds proved just fine.
Kevin Durant became a Youtube sensation, again, with this 66-point performance at Rucker Park. For one night, he really was THE BEST!
LeBron James miraculously found fans outside Miami with his Drew League performance. Maybe he should stick to this no-headband thing. That, or the not playing against Dirk thing.
Even guys like John Lucas III, George Hill and Gary Forbes (13 3-pointers, 78 points!) stunned Summer patrons.
Nene worked on his soccer game
And then there are those players stepping away from the court.
Like 6-11 center, Nene. The Brazilian native is going back to his roots, trading in kicks for cleats.
I hear Nene features a heck of a header. He makes Oguchi Onyewu look small.
