David Stern (Former NBA Commissioner, R.I.P.)

Big Papa

Urban!!!!
Did anyone else here the back an forth between them I believe it was yesterday on the Patrick's radio show? I got a small dose of it this morning from the Mike and Mike show. I am trying to find the audio to post, but so far it is only in the Pay Service at ESPN. If anyone has a link, please post it, but was looking for others comments about the incident. Seems like it got pretty heated.
 
Here is a quote that I found from Stern:

Stern took exception to criticism from ESPN Radio's Patrick that the suspension of the Suns' players unjustly benefits a Spurs team that apparently instigated the foul.
"To listen to the palaver that Robert Horry changed the series is just silly," Stern said. "What changed the series is Amare and Boris ran out onto the court and they either forgot about it or they couldn't control themselves. I don't know which one. And there wasn't an assistant coach there, one of six, to restrain them. OK, so now either we have to have new rules, put up a fence, or hire more assistant coaches."

david stern is an asshole. dan patrick asked him real questions and stern gets a fucking attitude and got very smart ass.

he also came off as a Tim Duncan mark - he said that Timmy did nothing against the rules when he got off the bench.

everyone needs to hear this

Well to be honest, Stern is basically sticking to his guns and not changing the rules based on the situations. He's getting a lot of flack for it, however, if he had folded then he would be getting flack for that too.
