Commissioner David Stern indicated that the NBA could in the future partake in the business of gambling, stating that the league's policy against gambling was "formulated at a time when gambling was far less widespread."

Stern acknowledged that there could be "good and sufficient business reasons" to get involved in gambling and that he is "going to leave the slate clean" on this topic for his successor.

"Gambling, however it may have moved closer to the line [of becoming acceptable], is still viewed on the threat side," Stern said. "Although we understand fully why, buried within that threat there may be a huge opportunity as well."

I hope not. Then the NBA would undoubtedly be fixed.

Does anyone need any more "proof" that Stern is involved with organized crime and the Mafia?

In other news, Commisioner Stern closed the door on the possibility that a non-Laker team could win the championship this season. "With the sorry state or the economy we need to maximize our return on the investment our owners made so it's only logical that the fanbase with the most bandwagon fans win the championship", the commisioner said.
