****DAVID STERN TO RETIRE*****

[Harry Sax]

why the fukk is he gonna retire in the middle of the season

it'll mark his 30th year as commish

 

[tremonthustler1]

man............ y'all gon miss him next lockout

Stern might as well be literally replaced with all 30 owners, because Silver's not gonna rock the boat on anything.

He's a nice guy though, but if he ever tries to get stern (don't ask me how), nobody will take him seriously.

I think he gets too much hate..besides the whole dress code thing and other behaviour type rules whats he really done thats been bad? Growing the game a ton internationally has been great for basketball. The decline in the NBA's popularity is by no means on Stern at all....its based on factors outside the commish's control. And he doesn't have a product that sells itself like the NFL. The good he's done outweights the bad to me

took the suns 2007 title...smh..would have smashed cleveland

took the suns 2007 title...smh..would have smashed cleveland

Isn't Stu Jackson, not Stern, the one that handles fines/suspensions?

 

[thernbroom]

Yall gonna be praying for his comeback after a taste of silver

 

[HulkSmash]

How you gonna retire a year and a half out?

 

[kash10003]

probably one of the best commisioners for a professional sports league, with that said I always assumed basketball to just have that natural potential of global growth

 

[superunknown23]

nikkas here gonna beg him to return soon

 

[Brock Landers]

I remember reading during the lockout that his deputy was one of the people pushing for zero tolerance on behalf of the players, he's going to be just as bad if not worse than stern. A hand-picked successor? I would want the NBA owners to vote for a new candidate.

 

[Roman Brady]

i dont have a good feeling about this

Yeah I have a feeling we're going to get a high profile player pull a frank ocean under his regime

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Somewhere, Stu Jackson Is thought all that shucking an jiving for massa was gonna get your ass up that ladder huh playbwoi?

 

[Greenhornet]

This elderly bytch ran the NBA for 30 years???
They don't hold biennial elections or NOTHIN'?
Damn. What? Was Stern self-appointed? *waits*
Autocratic administrative son of a jackal...


But to Stern's credit, he got salaries up, got international mofos interested, got black athletes to dress better during that big-white-tee era, and et cetera
(downside: Delonte West is gonna stunt on these niggggas now...)
