    Pretty sad as it never sounded good from the beginning. RIP David Stern. You did a lot for the NBA basketball game.

    Personally I think he ruined the sport. Condolences to his family, but the guy ushered in the superstar era of the NBA and with it he brought superstar treatment.

    Patrolling news sites 24/7, my hard drive-like brain discovered that Stern married his wife, a year older than him, 5 days after the assassination of President Kennedy.

    I've always thought David Stern was one of the better commissioners across all of pro sports. May he R.I.P.

    For a man who received alot of heat during his tenure, I think he did some great things for the game.

    RIP Mr. Stern.
