While this is may be more true today, basketball, and sports in general, is not that important in the grand scheme of things. Sports is just an escape. Millionaires playing a game. If you polled any random 100 people, maybe 20 are into sports?
I hear this is to put pressure on owners and executives. What would happen if billionaires owners walked away and the NBA folded? Would America care? I get the players are really upset but there's a player's meeting going on right now and there's probably a split between boycotting for a few days and going home for good. I think if the players leave the bubble and the season is cancelled, the league probably folds. I can't think of a condition to return that would work.

I think folding implies that they go backrupt. If the players go home, this season, with no slack, is done. However, the league itself isn't done. Next year is next year, things change, feelings change. From a business standpoint, there's about a 0% chance the league folds for good.
