RIP. Help make the nba global and what is today. Thanks to David Stern for bringing the NBA to our tvs in Australia and the rest of the world.

I'm not either that is why I referred to him as POS Commissioner. I've never met him in person nor seen any interviews other then his NBA related PR schticks.
But yes he has died and to me it's now in Gods hands as will all of us be sometime. And we all fall short of perfection.
He did not help the game. I found his attempted denigrating of Donoghy broaching the subject of fixing and the suggestion that some refs and games were on the take to be disgusting. But he helped the corporate pigs and it certainly trickled down to the players salaries in spades.
.04 and the Thunderrefs 2012 WCF, tbh.
Duncan having no help in fourth quarters in 2002 was Stern's fault?
0.4 sucked but even with instant replay that wasn't getting overturned since the clock started late. Can't really blame that one on anyone when the difference between that shot counting and not came down to a couple of tenths of a second error in starting the clock that anyone could make.
Kurt Thomas, Bonner, Oberto, and Francisco Elson were going to do better against Garnett and Perkins than they did Gasol and Radmanovic? And it's Stern's fault Pop left Udoka out there to die against Kobe instead of bringing Bowen back in the game when they blew the 20 point lead in Game 1? The no-call on Barry's three in Game 4 was awful but that wasn't a le team.
Stern's the one who made Leonard miss a free throw and bobble a rebound in 2013?
2006 is a reasonable complaint, the officiating was ridiculous in that series from the inadvertent whistle in Game 2 to the touch foul Dirk got near the end Game 4 to force OT.
2012 is also a reasonable complaint, as Game 6 was ing fixed.
Meh, not sure why anyone pretends to care about him, or pretends like they liked him when he was the commissioner. No real difference between him and silver now. Was funny when the spurs nearly beat Miami for that resting game,
I'm glad he vetoed the CP3 to Lakers trade, best thing he did during his tenure imo.
If he wasn't a follower of Christ then he's not RIP. True no one's perfect but those who love Jesus have his perfection imputed onto them n don't have to fear judgement day
Wasn't retired for long.
Oh ffs, Bible bashers in the house!!!!
You mean the worst thing. That was a big no go for a commisoner to do. He has to be impartial, no matter what and he screwed a franchise for many years to come.
It does not matter if you like the Lakers or not, but its not up to the commisoner to veto a legitimate trade only cause you dont like it. Btw: The CP3 Trade was better, than what NOP got for AD.
this?. Lamar Odom, Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Goran Dragic and a couple of draft picks to New Orleans
Never mind all that. He was a lawyer. So there's no chance he's going to heaven.
Pau Gasol was part of the Deal too, at that time he was still a top player of the NBA.
Actually it was the other way around
Gasol was going to Houston
Here is Wojnarowski's breakdown of how the trade was shaping up before it was quashed:
Under terms of the deal, the Lakers would have sent Gasol to the Rockets. The Hornets would have received Odom, Rockets guards Kevin Martin and Goran Dragic and forward Luis Scola, league sources said.
Houston had also agreed to send a 2012 first-round pick—previously obtained from the Knicks—to New Orleans as part of the package, a source said..
You’re correct, I was trying to articulate he let those guys build the league and was smart enough to stay out of the way.
Never liked him after he said his dream finals was Lakers vs Lakers. But still RIP, tbh.
Would have been funny to see Shaq clothesline Kobe.
RIP.
He was better than Silver.
