RIP Mr. Stern.

He did a lot to grow the game of basketball and the NBA increased in popularity under his watch!

The most important person ever in the NBA not named Magic, Bird, or Jordan.

Agree with you and JWill. Guy was a legend for what he did. Dream Team doesn’t happen without him.

with each passing of a public figure at an age before their time, i just keep thinking Carpe Diem. You just dont know what time you have so dont put off what can be done today. Enjoy life to the fullest. Get to a game you've always wanted, travel to a venue etc...we were at the Citrus Bowl today and it was a blast...a memory deposit not a bank deposit...but 100% worth it!

He grew the game a lot but he also did a lot of dumb stuff that annoyed me. Ridiculous stuff.

I do hope his family finds comfort and peace though.

He took the Western Conference Final from the Suns. Steve Nash was fouled hard, and his teammates stepped off the bench to protect him. Teammates were suspended. Gifted the Series to the Spurs
