Say what you want about the Stern, but the league would not be where it is without him today. He is easily the most positive influence amongst all of the major commissioners (though Goodell is creeping up).

What exactly did he used to say about Calderon?Originally Posted by Steve212
TJ Ford doesn't have a filter on his mouth. Hence why Toronto traded him, because he was not bashful about how he felt in regards to Jose Calderon replacing him in the starting lineup.
Nice article, and it is amazing how Steve Francis was making All-Star teams yearly, and now he's a washout at 33 years of age.

2. Bonzi Wells is a fat, injured 34 year old mediocre player with a gigantic contract who is known to be a bad lockerroom guy....that is why he isn't in the league.
He also spit in Danny Ferry's face, crapped on the Blazer(s) Nation, and gave Mike Fratello even more hairs in Memphis (along with Jason Williams).
And no, Bonzi Wells wasn't a franchise guy, but he was a pillar in Portland, before he just rotted. Sad. I'll post his transgressions when I get home. Funny stuff.

Stern has done a good job as GM. The game has expanded dramatically under his watch and it is bigger than ever before. If I was Commissioner I would want all the trouble-makers out of my league as well. Has Stern made mistakes? Of course he has...but when you compare him to other commissioners, he is one of the best.
Of the 4 major sports I'd say it goes...
1. Tagliabue/Goodell
2. Stern
3. Selig
4. Bettman
I'd put Stern number one for the reasons you stated, and his marketing of the NBA is insane. NFL's marketing is 1B. MLB marketing sucks.

most of the players were getting whack (francis, walker), getting crazy (marbury) or just pricks in the locker room.(bonzi) why the hell would ron artest still be playing if big bad stern has the conspiracy game on lock? wasn't birdman on CRACK? he was allowed to come back.
stern is shady but this article is OD

JR sells tickets and has cleaned up his act alot .. it's the same reason why Birdman was given another chanceOriginally Posted by High Class Scum Bag
I dont know how much i believe this article....i think you can be a knuckle head all you want until your skills diminish....once there's a slight decline, then i can see it happening..
JR Smith is a prime example, he's still in the league and so is josh howard, ron artest, jamal tinsley and stephen jackson...
I just dont think teams are willing to pay the vet's minimum for 30+ year old locker room cancers who could be a negative influence...
