    <u>Short List</u>
    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jul 26 - NBA Commissioner David Stern may be engulfed in a referee-gambling scandal that threatens the fabric of his league, but he still had the time Wednesday morning to phone from his New York office to support the effort to obtain a new downtown arena.

    "I think it is going to get done, and when it does, the people of Orlando will be getting events they probably never thought possible," Stern said in an exclusive interview with the Sentinel. "They may not even realize now how much fun it is going to be with a sparkling new arena in town."

    Stern re-emphasized his earlier promise that with a new arena, Orlando likely will be on a short list of cities that will rotate hosting the NBA All-Star Weekend, held in Las Vegas this year. -- Orlando Sentinel </div>
