and one minor detail...Lakers still run the league...we can't control BSPN but we control Stern...
Fact Check:
- Derek Fisher is THE President of players association so Stern knows he better not up...
- Theo Ratliff is the Vice President of the players association...so Stern is doubly ed by LA
- Kobe is Stern's most valuable weapon domestic and international
- Phil is the NBA's most revered and influential coach; when Phil speaks refs listen
- Ron Ron has Phil's league by the balls with his hair trigger temper. Phil knows that if he pushes too hard Ron will tear this mutha er down
- If we don't get calls Sasha and Luke can bring pressure to the NBA powers that be by organizing gay pride marches...bad press for the league
- The Gasol effect - Pau can affect global European NBA markets in a negative way if Stern's goons doesn't make the right calls
- Bynum can rally the handicap and special Olympics crowd
- Finally Odom (aka the Candy man) can affect the youth turnout should Stern not blow the whistle.
So you see the Lakers are still in the drivers seat where they shall remain for another 2.5-3 yrs before we detect even the slightest in the old Armour...![]()
