    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...

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
