I don't understand The-Coli's logic when it comes to the David Stern Bashing

exactly! nigggas acting like Stern can literally fix the whole game. But anybody who watched the 02 WCF or the 06 finals and say it wasnt fixed is blind. Plus nigggas need to get it through their heads its not about big markets in the NBA, its about stars and has been since Jordan.

Stern did fix the Ewing draft because at the time he thought it was gonna be about big markets but soon as Jordan came int he league he realized it was about stars and started fixing it that way.

And dont forget the Spurs brought international fans cause of Ginoboli and Parker

Jordan came before Ewing

explain the Spurs beating the Suns in 2007, those were close game which Stern could have easily have had the refs swing to the Suns favor. You think stern rather have Spurs in the finals against Lebron then the Suns?

stop your bytching

Duncan and his "legacy" was more marketable at that point.



The NBA is about creating superstar players and using them to market the league.


Durant will be the new face for the "big fish in a small pond" theme.


If you think it's all about big markets, you're not seeing the forest for the trees
