    "That’s why David Stern hates the Spurs. I probably shouldn’t say that but he doesn’t like when the Spurs are in the finals because the ratings go down. People say that all the time. I don’t know how true it is but you hear stories all about that is that the ratings are down. Their basketball is the purest basketball you’re going to find, in my opinion, in the NBA, just watching them play. They play a nice pace game. They’re defense is solid. Their plays are solid. They get all their guys involved. That’s why when he sat them guys against the Heat and sent them home, they still almost won that game.”



    i wonder how much kaman will be fined for that...

    "Chris Kaman has been deported back to Germany, and no one is really sure why" will be the story this weekend.

    Maybe he'd like to play here when he becomes a free agent? If so, this is a subtle start.

    It's probably well-known/regularly talked about when NBA players get together about which teams get perennially shafted by Stern and the refs. It's amazing that Stern has made it so obvious over so many different cir stances, and yet hasn't been thrown out of his job. Dude is as crooked as American sports get, and will gladly throw a team under the bus in pursuit of the $$$. I'm aware that sports are about making money, but there is a lot of money to be lost if you destroy the integrity of the game. Stern has done everything in his power to disregard that integrity in his tenure. The Ewing pick, the rule changes, losing Seattle as a franchise in such an underhanded way, losing the Kings as a franchise TO Seattle (which IS a big deal, it's going to depress the economy in Sacramento), fines for smaller market teams/lesser players, Kings in 2002, Spurs vs Mavs in 06, Heat vs Mavs the same year, Spurs last year (check the Reddit thread, EVERY fan of EVERY other team and even some OKC fans were ing ashamed/outraged at the calls in game 6), the Gasol collusion, endorsing those stupid power balance bracelets as "performance enhancements", openly stating that he wants to see LAL vs LAL in the finals every year... it's a miracle the NBA as a product hasn't completely tanked yet.

    Nice! I'm glad somebody has said something in regards to the Sith Lord; on another note, thank you CK for your service in the NBA, you will now be playing for the El Paso Padres.

    Kaman will, from now until eternity, average 6 fouls a game, playing 4 minutes a game.

    CK doesn't express much on the court, running up and down the court with his head down and expressionless. These comments show there's much more there.

    Respect to Chris Kaman. I honestly don't understand how the ratings would drop so bad in the finals if the other team is the Heat, Knicks, or even Bulls.

    The ratings couldn't be any worse than a Bucks-Jazz finals. Could they?

    I've always despised the guy. He's too crooked for my tastes. I also hate how people defend him by saying "well before Stern, basketball was on tape delay." of course was different then, there was no cable, no internet, three channels. Getting anything on the air back then was much harder than now since there was less coverage/air time. I think the game would've been just fine with the better athletes (MJ was going to change the game regardless) and also the improvements in technology that make it easier to follow the game.

    Stern has done some good things, but I think there could have been a number of candidates who could've improved the product and profitability without making the league seem fixed.

    I heard that interview on 1310 The Ticket (BaD Radio show)...he sounded so complimentary of the Spurs, almost like he was subtlety asking Cuban to move him there if possible since Carlisle seems to have problems playing him and Dirk at the same time.
