If Stern stayed as commissioner folk would have boycotted because Sterling would still be the owner in the face of the bullshyt he was on..

At least with Adam Silver he's showing he's more progressive and haven't said any suspect shyt plus him making Sterling sell the team shows he was about that action

Silver ain't the boss. The owners are. The same owners allowed Sterling's racist ass to be in the league for years dismissing the shyt Elgin was saying about him being racist as fukk and knowing the racist shyt he been saying for years only got him out after it got recorded....and to be honest I think that was just their convenient excuse to get an owner in that actually wanted to spend money because at first Mark Cuban was openly saying he didn't even really want him gone. Silver don't get credit for being progressive when he turned around after Sterling and muzzled the players when it came to Kaepernick and the anthem

Listen man Silver told them to rethink their position brcause that type of shyt will not fly in today NBA , players have all the leverage and is a star driven league.. Owners had to fall back because they see who ultimate runs the show

Yeah, he did a lot for ppl of color....but only if they could add to his pockets
Thats the real gist, he didn't do shyt for people of color, he did what he did for the benefit of the wealthy white ownership group, that include a Donald Sterling that he protected.

People in here calling Stern a slave owner need to peep his interview with Ernie. Specifically the part where he was trying to negotiate TV deals...which is what lead to the explosion of NBA salaries...but networks kept giving him the :mjpls: about "black sport"

Basketball is different than football you know...you can actually see the black athletes face :mjpls:

fukk david stern, ughhh hate that fukking jew


the dress code was just a tip of the iceberg

when malice at the palace happened he said that's enough and turned the whole product into the family show. Giving techs for any sign of emotion, fining players for criticising refs, he wanted to control the players, he absolutely HATED that late 90s early 00s streetball era with flashy plays and zero fukks given.

you watch the footage from 80s nba or early 90s and a lotta players were badass, this current era has that professional feel like everyone respectful to each other, I mean good for them, they are making big money...but its like watching good technical wrestling matches with guys who got zero mic skills, it feels like the part of the game is missing

I've never seen such a smug fukking a$$hole bytch than David stern. Never has that hoe come off like a decent compassionate human being.

That conniving smile he has is filled with condescension and p*ssy.

And anyone who defends that hoe ass move of making players wear buttons up is straight bytch unless you get paid to promote that nonense.

Racists go after what they assume are soft targets. In reality Wayne Brady would beat the shyt out of Bill Maher and Bryant Gumbel would beat the hell out of David Stern. Non-blacks love trying to rate our real blackness levels.:pacspit:

:stopitslime: Players started dressing better because Hip Hop dictates fashion trends in the black community, not David Sterns Jew ass. You sound just as bad as Stern
Exactly . Once jay -z was on his I don't wear jerseys I'm 30 + line it was already heading towards the more preppy type look . Now we in the sweats and leggings as outfits phase

He did get NBA Players to stop dressing like 10 year olds

Went from

To

And that went a long way to changing the image of the NBA thus allowing the tv networks taking these guys serious and cutting them the record breaking money they're receiving today.


So I give him respect for that


But fukk him for that bullshyt as technical rule for being "demonstrative"..

it make the league look silly when you receive a tech for a stare down meawhile Baseball and Hockey are out here being priaised for fighting one another on television leveling it as "part of the culture"
You didn't tell the whole story

they're still allowed to dress like Clowns
