TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Miami Heat star LeBron James remains confident the 2011-2012 NBA season will go ahead, despite the growing pessimism of the players' union.
Speaking Friday to reporters in Taiwan, James said "right now I am working toward the NBA season, I believe there will be a season, and hopefully both sides can come together."
Players have been locked out of team facilities since July 1 as negotiations continue on a new agreement on pay and conditions. The two sides are split over issues including distribution of revenues and the imposition of a salary cap. Last week, players' union chief Billy Hunter said he was doubtful about the 2011-12 season going ahead.
James is on a two-day promotional tour of Taiwan.
