Is David Stern going to die?

**asiagambler** · 01-01-20, 05:51 PM

He cost the Kings a Championship in 2002

Yup he died today... He did make it to 2020 so I gotta give him credit.. 77 years old is a decent life span give or take..

I think he was a pretty good NBA commission over all.. Next...

Solid guy

Sad day nba

Say what you will about him, hate him or like him, he grew the NBA by leaps and bounds. He did a great job in my opinion.

**stevenash** · 01-01-20, 07:07 PM

My two cents.

He was a brilliant businessman.

My momma always said if you can’t speak well of the dead don’t speak at all.

**Bostongambler** · 01-01-20, 07:10 PM

Yes indeed, Stevenash

A lot of questionable stuff

The Jordan gambling issues

Fixed games/ drafts/ refs

Vancouver expansion

Dream teams

Salary cap minimums/ contract and trade rules

He built the NBA into a model in the late 90s that was envious, but I feel the pendulum swung too far and the model is a joke now, forever ruined, waiting for the proverbial rug to be pulled out.

He took the NBA from tape delay to prime time. Hate the fact that he rigged Ewing to the Knicks, but he brought the NBA to where it is today. RIP

Fatty how could you be so correct about something like this but equally as incorrect about the players in the league? Mind boggling

He rigged ewing to knicks ?

he rigged so much shit and stole massive amounts of money with his rigged league it is a wonder anyone would praise this crook but hey guys think this shit is all on the up and up. Fuk this thief. To think Donaghy was the only one working hand in hand with this corrupt asshole is laughable.

**shadymcgrady** · 01-02-20, 08:19 AM

Tim donaghy, Mark cuban and the maloof brothers celebrating right now
