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.
