A last name that means from high crime, no dwelling, and shitty hondas. It is usually a brazilian/jewish name that is passed down. To have the name stern also could be struggling in mathematics and biology and either results in very great success, or very bad consequences. There have been only 2 sterns to be successful: Hans Stern (founder of H. Stern jewelers) and Ronny Stern, aka Ronicasa (Current Vice President of H. Stern jewelers). There are a few Sterns that are unfortunate enough and can't say stern, but instead say Shtern, due to a shar lishp.
Arthur: If my name is Arthur Stern, what does my last name really mean?

Macta: Well ur name isnt Ronny or Hans, so I wouldn't count on the whole 'taking over the H. Stern business' to be very likely

Arthur: :(

David Stern is the horrendous commissioner of the NBA. He allows referees to blatantly change the outcome of certain NBA games, most commonly playoff games and ALWAYS calls them "mistakes". The worst case happened in 2002 when the Lakers won Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals against the Kings because the refs gave the Lakers many free throw opportunities in the 4th quarter. All of the calls were against the Kings, and were not even fouls. This threw away the chances of seeing a Nets v. Kings Finals series in 2002. If you don't believe this, Google "the worst tragedy in sports".

When you really need him, Stern is going to make constant horrible decisions. In the NBA draft, the commissioner calls out the names of every player that is going to be selected in the 1st round. When he got to the podium on 6/24/10, the fans in Madison Square Garden booed him. Some good commissioner, eh? Stern cares only about money and ruining NBA teams and breaking the hearts of millions of fans.
David Stern fan: the lakers kings game wasnt fixed man you just a stupid hater who cant appreciate that the nba is the greatest sport ever!!!
Me: ...I ain't even gonna reply, but I have to, since you're such an idiot...watch the game and you'll see that it was fixed.
Stern fan: i aint gotta watch nothin to believe anythin foo!
Me -_-
