Black Friday wasn’t the only exciting thing that happened over the weekend. While shoppers were busy searching the malls for awesome deals, NBA owners and players were busy negotiating a deal to end the 149-day NBA lockout. In the wee hours of the morning, after several weeks of negotiations, the NBA announced a tentative deal to end the 5-month lockout – with the 66-game season scheduled to resume on Christmas day.
Basketball fanatics were excited, players were excited (check out their responses on Twitter) and naturally, we were excited as well! The end of the lockout will hopefully mean more internship opportunities for students. Even NBA players like Blake Griffin of the LA Clippers and Andre Iguodala of the Philadelphia 76ers, made the most of their break by interning.
To celebrate the lockout ending, we have combined a list of internship opportunities for our basketball enthusiasts.
