David Stern: "I have done more for people of color than Bryant Gumbel"

[mr heyzel]

Typical racist jew response to when blacks call them out.for their racism.
I'm sure next he'll mention the holocaust and working with the NAACP

real talk they always go after our character after we call them out

 

[Easy-E]

Is David Stern out of his mind?

He really thinks he's doing charity work for making sure players are properly compensated?

He gets paid damn well himself.

 

[LV Koopa]

Saving Jordan from the gambling scandal don't count as "doing shyt for Black people", Stern.

And Chris Paul disagrees, I'm sure.

fukk Stern for LIFE.

That shyt was ridiculous. Lakers fans won't ever live that down

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

That n word mentality keeps a lot of people on here from understanding basic mathematics...

They would rather "be a man" as one poster wrote and "keep it real " while being grossly underpaid. Instead of making real money

Its lonely at the top but I can't deal with them anymore

So who are the lucky few that get to keep their dignity and make the money?

 

[Family Lives Matter]

I'm sorry to say it but crackers gonna crack
If you think they thought anything else you lost
They really think that they are our saviours

 

[Rekkapryde]

You didn't tell the whole story

they're still allowed to dress like Clowns

Just gay clowns

You honestly think that's better than what Iverson was wearing?

I'm glad the players are troll dressing now. They can't use the "street" angle against them since these fruity ass outfits are part of cac fashion.

 

[8WON6]

He's one step away from saying "I'm more of a nikka than Gumbel is".

 

[jwonder]

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"

Go suck a dead man's dikk cac. B ball was made popular by blacks world wide. So the influence shouldn't be in the NBA? FOH. Pedophile ass.

 

[mag357]

Stfu cac. He took the soul out of basketball. Basketball is a street sport.

The NBA is a business... They dont give a hell about the soul of the sport, unless it somehow effects their bottom line... Thats business

 

[duckbutta]

The dress code did NOTHING to change the perception fans had about the players.

Did everything to change the perception of the tv network execs and sponsors...and kept that money rolling in so those contracts could get larger...

Stern took the league from a place where arguably its best player was making a million dollars a year to a place where kent bazemore...someone who is NOT the best player in the nba...is making what...13 or 14 times that ?

And make no mistake Stern had just as much to do with that as the talents of Jordan and Magic and Kareem and whoever else...

I don't think people in this thread understand how salaries in sports work...it's like people think there is just this infinite amount of money and sports leagues go to it and are like "hey lets pay a guy who use to make 3 million a year 13 million a year"

 

[mag357]

Such an arrogant response

Honestly, I don't know what Stern has done. Maybe he's set some shyt up for inner city youths, but that's some shyt a white man can't say to black man

You know hes mainly talking about making black men into millionaires, keeping them, for the most part, off the streets. And giving hope to lil black boys. thats what hes meaning with that statement. And i bet he sleeps at nite with a smile on his face, with those thoughts in his head. hey, whatever makes him feel good

Exactly. To white America they're still a bunch of ******s.

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

i think what he's saying is that he help build a platform that has changed a lot of black people's lives...the NBA.....

stern no matter what your personal feelings may be is as responsible for what the modern NBA is as magic or bird or jordan

i know most of you are way too young to remember this but the nba was in trouble in the early 80s...people really didnt care that much about pro basketball until bird and magic came along....stern was smart enough to build around them....and in turn we have what we have now....

just think of all the millionaires that the nba has spawned....and the lives that have been touched because of it

just saying

 

[Mic-Nificent]

NEVER, Stern been done lost his L.A. Privileges.
