David Stern was a marketing genius... NFL, MLB or other sports league would love to have him as commissioner. Rest in peace and thank you for making NBA a worldwide brand.

@otaviofrn_adv 7 месяцев назад

True. And the NBA became a worldwide phenomenon before the NFL. Here in Brasil (original with an S) the NBA has been broadcasted on TV (terrestrial and/or cable [streaming, etc]) without interruptions since the late 1980's, our first commentary team on site for a game was in the game 7 of the 88 finals. Stern might've not played a game in his life, but his vision as the executive head of the league is a major reason for stuff like this becoming real. We, in our history, hosted preseason games and countless other events, with all time greats of the league such as Gary Payton coming here.

@vsmcax1007 4 года назад

Stern had a vendetta against Seattle ever since he lost the Spencer Haywood case, he definitely “greased the wheels” behind the scenes of the Sonics relocation then a few years later completely blocked the Kings to Seattle deal. Maybe he did more good to the league overall but he definitely will not be missed in the 206
