NBA commissioner David Stern is probably the best leader in pro sports. Yet, he presides over a league that doesn’t appreciate him. He is given the daunting task of catering to a group of young, rich and predominately black athletes while trying to market a league to an older white audience.

It's not like the players run into Stern at the strip club or gun store for

I'd rather have Selig be the NHL commish and he doesn't know dick about it.

I'd rather have BM be the commish of the NHL.

The only thing Stern has done is market the league overseas. Just like the NFL did.

Stern is stupid, to expect someone to have no reaction after a bad call goes against common sense. I understand not wanting guys to complain like say Sheed Wallace does after a call, but I've seen guys get teched up for having a basic reaction that anyone with a shred of a competitive nature would have. And I think this just make it easier for bad officials to keep being bad. And while the new ball may help scoring by giving friendly bounces its also increasing turnover rates and palming violations. david Stern is stupid
