During All-Star Weekend last month, NBPA executive director Billy Hunter and commissioner David Stern addressed the players as they do every year.
But this time Hunter painted a more negative picture, explaining how he couldn't tell the players that everything is currently well in the NBA. He also referenced how Oscar Robertson and Jerry West staged a protest at the 1964 All-Star Game. Hunter insisted the players had an obligation to participate in the game, but his speech made it clear that he wouldn't back down to Stern.
When Hunter was finished and handed the microphone to Stern, the commissioner began to list his resume and his anger was visible.
Stern then announced he knows where "the bodies are buried" in the NBA, according to witnesses.
“It was shocking,” said Derrick Rose. “I was taking off my gear, and when he said that, I just stopped and thought, ‘Whoa …’
“I couldn’t believe that he said it.”
Said another All-Star in the room, “I was shocked … just shocked.”
The moment turned into a galvanizing one for Hunter.
It was “probably the best Billy has been around us,” one veteran Eastern Conference All-Star told Yahoo! Sports.
The scary part is that Stern is right. He does know.
That's a weird thing to say.
Isn't Stern Jewish ?
It's time for that bag to go... maybe this will speed that up.
I could never call a man that once said his dream finals is Lakers vs Lakers and that his all time top team is :
MJ
Magic
Bird
Shaq
Kobe
I could never call that man a ....
I like Stern. The players still played the All-Star game, right? The owners MUST make money off their teams (and not just the Lakers and the Knicks)
Oh... forgot.

you shoulda paid up. you're making us look bad.
Do sports commissioners answer to anybody? Like, can they be fired or voted out? Or is it a lifetime job for as long as you want it?
His powers are granted by the CBA...so it's up to Billy Hunter to check his powers at the negotiation table...but if they de-certify the union then he'll answer to the Law of the land from an Anti-Trust POV.
