As a basketball fan for almost my entire life, I want to thank you David Stern for making the NBA conveniently available for us to watch and be entertained. You're truly is a visionary
RIP David Stern You Left the game MUCH better than you found it . A Mench who added tremendous value to the league !!! You personally made the NBA so much better . You will always be the NBA PERIOD 🏆🎁🙏
I'm still mad at y'all tried to play Iverson like he was a thug so you change the dress code

Blackball God IT DOESNT MATTER Brother dress code hip hop the pimp walk our slang none it can be dressed down an all the NBA did was try to make something unforbidden just that much sexier so they accomplished while trying to appease the usual white bigoted racist implicit bias white people absolutely nothing but draw more people to our BLACKNESS ya dig !!
I don't think that it mattered whether the league thought Iverson was a thug or not, what mattered was that the financial model was shifting and the NBA was on top of it. Gate attendance was being leveraged into television contracts which leveraged fan engagement into corporate partnerships at the highest level and ironically that marginalized the fan. So, while Iverson was beloved by the fans he was the face of a culture that was jeopardizing the bottom line of the NBA. So they put a more palatable face on it. The NBA and its players act as partners, in so far as they act together to increase league revenues. This was primarily a way to get everyone paid more: ownership, corporate management, players...the whole league bought in and continues to profit off of it.
The NBA made Shaq and Kobe win against AI because they prefer a certain kind of "blackness". Iverson's was too flavoursome for most of those racist suits
*magic _* because they plan lebron to win championships and be the new face of the league. They wanted to faze out Kobe. He did the same thing Jordan with the lock out in 1999. He didn’t start back the league until Jordan retired January 1999.
*magic _* well this is just my opinion just want to start with that! But I thinks it’s because at the time the then New Orleans Hornets has no ownership so they were controlled by the NBA (David stern) and he wanted them to have a better opportunity in the future. The trade with Chris to the Lakers would have made it a two team league essentially with Miami having their big 3. I feel as though Stern saw that a trade to the little brother team Clippers with a young Blake griffin and DJ would be more of a money grabber for executives and the league itself. So pretty much money and advertising came down to it.
They’re the same type of person. He even says “yuuuge” like… *THAT* guy. It’s safe to say that every white, old, billionaire VC thinks like this. To protect their capital and lineage. I’m glad that he at least gives credit to the way that players use their platform now. He did good things, but he also did bad things, most likely motivated by racism. In today’s America, it unfortunately is what it is until the entire system changes.
This man was a genius. May he Rest In Peace. He was a very clever businessman and was able to grow the league to where it is today. Yeah, some players still feel they are underpaid and have gripes, this is common for most employees that work for someone. These players now are making millions of dollars for running up and down the court. Doctors were making more than NBA players in the 80’s! My uncle played five years in the league, quit and went to law school. Lol. Let’s give David Stern his flowers 💐
Came here for the vetoed CP3 trade but they are accurately staying out of it. But they did talk about the trade to Lakers and it's funny when he said I am a fan of that and when Kareem asked for trade to Lakers. 😂
The nba couldn’t handle Iverson. He was too real with his appearance. He wouldn’t change for anybody so they had to create rules just to stop him and everybody else
Make Data Great Again yep it does. If he’s white then he hates the topic because race conversations makes him feel guilty of his privileges. I hate when ppl remind me of my privileges in life, it makes me feel like I didn’t suffer like every one to get to where I am.
I would never respect the dress code. Fine me every year and cut that away from my salary. I'm good. I 100 % agree with Stern that you should be dressed in a proper manner but once you start forcing me to do so then we can't be partners anymore.
Thanks for the historical reference to Kareem Abdul-Jabaar, shortly after winning a NBA Championship with the Milwaukee Bucks, also demanding a trade to the Lakers, just a little more quietly than Anthony Davis.
The dress code is very important...The NBA is great for the world that has international appeal. It's important to dress for success. David Stern is a class act. 🥇
I'm curious, what crooked practices are you talking about? I just haven't heard except saying the racist remarks. And Sterling was dismissed quickly afterwards. Was there something else i didn't know about?
@@colingrantz3260 being cheap, not assembling a competitive roster, leaching off the Lakers arena and market. LA doesn't need two teams, they should have stayed in San Diego, or Buffalo...
this interview was pointless and literally nothing learned. That's David Stearn for you. He speaks in undertones and actions. Happy Silva is the commish.
I will never get over David Stern's veto of the Chris Paul trade, even though Anthony Davis is a small consolation prize. 😞😞😞 New Orleans Pelicans GM tried his best duplicate the ban on Anthony Davis trade, then got fired for it. Feel sorry for the brother. Former Cleveland Cavs GM replaced Dell Demps, then delivered Anthony Davis to the Lakers anyway.
@@gg_v2 Never the less, I feel sorry for the black man, Dell Demps trying to take one for the TEAM (NBA) by blocking the February trade, only to see a white man David Griffin come in and do the trade anyway. Dell Demps got fired for being stubborn and they bring in former Cleveland Cavs GM, David Griffin to complete the trade for his former player, Lebron James. As Max Kellerman loves to say, "Basically it was an INSIDE JOB."
@@deandrepage1048 YES, I thought that wasnt spoken about enough. He was used as a scapegoat for agreeing to be a scapegoat. Hopefully he gets another opportunity (if he doesnt have one akready).

Life is precious. David seems sharp and healthy in this interview. 3 months later he gets a stroke and now is dead. Appreciate being alive
Not only appreciating life but coming in terms with death, it comes to us all eventually and we shouldn't be afraid of it.
Well said my friend
David Stern sounds like a proud father talking about Adam Silver

Still angry about the cp3 trade. Kobe could have got 7 rings!!!
For real. We wouldn't have had Nash or D12 on the Lakers too
Yeah but MJ never had to force trades to get his 6 rings.
He is saying some real sterling-esque stuff...

I think Allen iverson is the Tupac of the nba
And without a fraction of Tupac's intelligence.
Do you copy and paste this comment everywhere ? I swear I just seen this elsewhere
KW bro a i is smart too in his own way
Not really, Iverson is still alive.
I can't stand Spears, the guy is continuously bringing up race. Give it up man!

Salary Cap Is To Cap Labor Profits But No Salary Cap On Owners Profits Which Is Elitist
Gentlemen’s Quarterly huh....need to find that publication
Best commissioner ever
Adam silver sucks😑
Still pissed off he vetoed CP3 trade to Lakers. Kobe could’ve won his 6th ring. Maybe 7 rings... 😏
He looked a little different health wise, but sounded coherent. Brain aneurysms can change things quickly though. What a good man! RIP!
Rest in peace
calendar real-estate? Im gonna have to remember that one wow.

Know he old he said Afro American players😂😂😂 shoutout David Stern

He looks so healthy here
he ain’t even have to bring up black ppl one time🤧🤣
I never had a problem with the NBA dress code. It just forced guys to start dressing like grown men.
He needs to be asked why he turned a blind eye to Donald Sterling’s crooked practices for years.
He was a fellow Jew. That is why.
