As much as I hate Stern I don't really see how much better a replacement is going to be considering the precedent that was already set.
I think Stern was great for about 20 years, the last few years though he was trying too much to get the NBA to not be threatening. Now everyone looks like hipsters; I understand trying to get away from the Hip-Hop image, which I liked, but what's wrong with the players just dressing like athletes.
Fuck Stern.
All commissioners suck actually. But i'll admit at least Selig never had another work stoppage since the 94 strike like the dumbass NHL commissioner[3] And Stern who wants people to think he's a hardass but really isn't. Its reported that he actually suspended Jordan for a year in a half because of his gambling problem. Convinced Jordan to lie to the public about his retirement cause Jordan nation would most likely do death threats & maybe carry out those threats if he admitted the suspension. Some things in life you gotta put 2 & 2 together. Might explain why stern keeps gravy training jordan. Makes sure he don't lose in the finals, forced him onto a nba front office job even though jordan sucks at that. Why I think that, it had to do with the 30 for 30 preview with Reggie Miller. He said that the pacers & bricks did everything possible to win the championship in the 93-94 season. Cause he & they knew Jordan was gonna comeback. How did he know? There's a few players who retired early but never came back. I told my brother about this & he mentioned that jordan was privately suspended. This actually screwed me up on jordan cause I felt deserted when he retired in 93. I preferred that he played 1 more year then retire in 94. To make sure that the bricks didn't end up in the finals. But in 95 he comes crawling back. Retires in 98 then another comeback years later. Brett Favre like. I believe that when a player does retire it should be for good.
I say clone. The only way you'll get change is if the NBA starts to fade like it did in the 70's when the ABA had all the better players and people didn't care about basketball in general.

I have over 50 thousand pages of evidence against Vilma but all I' can show him in 2012 is Greg Williams deposition saying he is guilty. oh by the way even though Paul Tagliabu is the one who got me my job to begin with I will appoint him to the Saints bounty case because he and I barely ever see eachother"Goodell is such an assGoodell thinks the NFL fans are gonna buy all his garbage and finally people see through him
