I think it was because their recent CBA was more about stuff regarding the owners side of the league like luxury taxes and playoffs than the other leagues where the biggest reason was to mainly reduce player revenue percentages.

Only the NFL managed to come up with something nice in that whatever the players lost as a percentage, it went to pensions and health insurance costs. Players gave up money now for the guarantee of better pensions while the owners didn't just pocket it like the NBA and NHL want.
