I truly believe that Stern forced Rod Thorn out of the NBA office. Remember when Thorn was head of operations for the league? Thorn was the one who handed down the suspensions. His name started to get more known, and possibly more powerful, than Stern (although Thorn already had a resume, in Chicago, drafting Jordan). All Thorn did was return to a franchise front office, building a Nets squad that reached two Finals.

David Stern was the NBA lawyer who tried to blackball Soencer Haywood when he took his hardship case to the Supreme Court. Haywood, a Detroit native, was blackballed for years trying to get into the Basketball Hall of Fame . I find it ironic how Stern had it in for the basketball team in Haywood's hometown, the Detroit Pistons. I also find it ironic how Haywood was passed over for a spot on the 50 Greatest Players when his basketball career was more accomplished than Pistol Pete's. Nation's leading rebounder.

The nba has changed to bring in more casual "fans" instead of fans who actually understand the game on a deeper level. We got people saying that lebron is the goat, but also cannot tell you who Paul George is. We have people telling you certain players are better based off of numbers or highlights they see the next morning, instead of actually watching and dissecting how specific players play (if you're too busy watch the games, you cant say your opinions are right based off of numbers). And worst of all, we have players hyping themselves up on social media because all of the casual nba fans are constantly on the internet, and therefore it nm is easier to have a social media presence than it is to actually prove yourself by pracricing extra hard and performing on the court (for millions and millions of dollars that the average jo will never see in their lifetime). Adam Silver has changed the NBA and ling time viewers see and notice everything because they see how much its changed from decade to decade

@KebbieG 9 месяцев назад

Yeah as soon as someone states that Lebron James is the GOAT I immediately know I shouldn't take them seriously. There is so many flaws in his game to ever be considered the GOAT.

@@KebbieG well it's more than just lebron James being an alleged goat. But yes, Adam Silver has change the NBA to draw in the untrained eye because it's a lot more flashy to watch an alley-oop dunk or a crazy 3-point shot, because that isn't fundamental basketball that's just appealing to anybody. The Nba has always been open about how the NFL has more fans than them, so what better way to draw in fan then draw in Casuals who don't actually understand the game but are entertained by the crazy jumping and shooting. And as a result of that, a lot of the fans are now casuals who think they are right based off of a handful of things they just saw online while they're sitting on the toilet, instead of actually forming their own logical opinions based on legitimate basketball knowledge

@user-ib7qg1jz1n 9 месяцев назад

I went to the 2010 NBA All Star game and took a mini plush basketball and sharpie with me in case I ran into any players. David Stern walks past me and nobody else notices him but me. Even though there's a lot of people walking around, there's no crowd around him at all. I hold out my basketball and sharpie and say "Mr. Stern, would you mind if I got an autograph?" He holds his hand out as if to say "no thanks", which I found quite strange. Not wanting to be denied (knowing I'll probably never see him again), I run up ahead of him about 2 sections to where our paths will cross again. Since I"m weaving in and out of the crowd, he doesn't see me running up ahead of him. So, as our paths cross the second time, I hold out the basketball and say, "Mr. Stern, please, if you wouldn't mind, I'd love an autograph". He looks at me like he's completely put out and literally scribbles a line as he's walking without even attempting to sign it (imagine someone literally taking a blink of an eye to scribble nothing). It just blew my mind because it's literally the biggest fan event of the year for the NBA, which he was the commissioner of, and that's how he treated a fan that night. All he had to do was take an extra 3 seconds and it would've made it a great moment. But quite the opposite. He walked off leaving me to think he must be an absolute jerk if that's how he treats a young fan at All Star weekend. Years later someone I know had an encounter with him and said he was an absolute jerk to him as well. It's sad that's the legacy he wanted to leave as a person.

This is completely wrong and ass backwards. Michael Jordan built the NBa into a worldwide sports power and players like Shaq continued it. When you have a 7'1" 300 lb phenom that can run and jump like a fucking gazelle, negotiating tv deals is VERY easy. Millions of people want to watch Shaq play. These middle men don't make the game, the players and coaches do.

A lot of Bootlicking in these comments. Sheed may not be your favorite player/person but he made a good point. Stern may have overseen the league but the players made the league. Who was a bigger impact on the NBA Stern or Magic? Stern or BIrd? Stern or Jordan? Stern oversaw the league but he wasn't the league nor bigger than the league. Sheed can comment on it because he played for the league and dealt with him so he has better prospective on him than any of us. It is just too bad Stern isn't here to defend himself that's the only issue.

@user-cs1pi8zg1n 9 месяцев назад

Ain't no damn bootlicking. This is just the wrong guy speaking. Yes he did play in the league, but he was also bad for the league on more than one level. If Sheed felt like that he should found a different line of work or played for another league. Even now he takes no responsibility for his actions. I've noticed players from the era Sheed played in want to be seen as hard tough guys, street dudes or fighters. Some of them seem like they never grew up just gotten older.

@basilboyd3774 9 месяцев назад

Yep bootlicking like I said. So you know him personally to make these assumptions? Do you hear other players saying what you are saying about him? Why should he get a new line of work when somebody was always willing to pay him for his services? I dont think Sheed needs to make it look like a tough guy or street dude he pretty much is the same person he was when he was playing. He has grown to the point he now coaches. Stern obviously wasn't well liked and him getting paid more than Shaq is a good question to ask also Sheed should feel some type way if Stern didn't acknowledge him that's their beef not yours or mine. @@user-cs1pi8zg1n

Agree 100%. I would rarely speak ill of the dead because they can't defend themselves. Stern was an ultra-shrewd business man who exhibited asshole characteristics most men with power have. That's nothing new. Thing is, Rasheed obviously didn't have a cool head. There are plenty of former players--Isaiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, etc.--who had positive experiences with Stearn, because knew how to 'play the game OFF THE COURT'. Sheed wouldn't play those games, and that's probably why he's speaking ill of the man today.

@MMBeing 7 месяцев назад

Stern had as big an impact as all the players you named as he was instrumental in these players getting the exposure they did, they were household names around the world. because of Stern and his team. Magic, Bird nor Jordan was at the table negotiating for TV contracts and rights. The Dream Team, which was instrumental in the game going global and being what it is today was largely do to Stern. Players play, they have nothing to do with the business of basketball. In today's game they have some input bu this business is driven by the owners who look upon the commissioner to carry out the business of making the business profitable. From that standpoint players are secondary, they come and go. Owners remain. Magic, Bird and Jordan are long gone but the league keeps rolling because of the owners. Its just like being on RU-vid...You can be become a star influencer,., have million of followers on you channel and make major bank but you're never going to be bigger than RU-vid who gives you the platform to do what you do. No player will ever become bigger than the NBA...

Actually what Rasheed & like half the folks in our country don't understand, is how capitalism works. The only reason Shaq, Rasheed, other players in the league & the coaches & much of the supporting staff, were earning the level of coin they managed to, is because Stern was doing what he was doing. Like him or not, he was the guy that led the NBA to another level of prosperity.

Mine is because we've seen capitalism work 1000's of times with mediocre workers & great leaders, I don't think that great talent & poor leadership would have gotten the job done

I mean there's no point comparing that to Shaq's physical attributes lol But it just goes to show that in this world we live in, being educated and smart is still more valuable to society. And lets not forget David Stern was a powerful lawyer who practiced in New York.

You’re applying traditional capitalism thought to the NBA. Pro athletics are different. Stern is MUCH more easy to replace than Shaq. Shaq is the reason people watch-not Stern. Stern is no exceptional talent-just a guy. NBA is carried by the marketability of its star players. This is not Amazon or low skilled labor.
