[Lucky_Lefty]

yea i find it funny but come on, you're a commissioner and you resorting to taking it personal??? best believe the clones won't stand for this shyt lol

 

[verbaltelekinesis]

Buncha house nikkas here. Rome asked him straight up what we all think and stern reacts like I thought he would (guilty).

I won't go the house nikka route, but it is curious that everybody is saying that the question shouldn't have been asked.

it is curious that everybody is saying that the question shouldn't have been asked.

Stern said no, it wasn't fixed.

But that hasn't stopped people from suggesting it was fixed.

He could say no 100 times, people (including me) would still believe it's fixed.

The real way to fix this situation is to change the format of the lottery.

After listening to it, Rome wasn't be malicious or anything. He just asked a question that most ppl wanted to ask

Rome pressed him over and over about it. Stern answered it then Rome asked him like two-three more times. Stern shot back then Rome got mad. Stern won. why ask him a question like that in the first place?

Thank you based Stern

How do you change it to stop people from claiming conspiracy or complaining about teams tanking?

I'm with Verbs on this brehs...if Rome doesn't ask, who will?? E!SPN's cronies won't ask because their in bed with the league as is...hell, after the lottery a lot of writers & reporters came out on Twitter with the sarcastic "Wow! That was a surprise" wink, wink type of tweets...Stern didn't ether shyt but he did prove that he's a muthafukka who'll go for the low blow and wouldn't be surprised if he tried to keep athletes from going on the show...dude is vindictive muthafukka

sterns a fakkit but its the people who allow him to control is why he's like this

You could create a lottery that solves one of those problems, but not both.

I bet you think someone should keep asking the CIA who killed JFK too, huh?

You think this is the first time Stern's been asked about the lottery being fixed?

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Stern's response was funny, I guess...

Kind of a low blow, would have been funny if was a coach or a player but the league comissioner??

And he still didn't answer the question though

Obviously he felt a certain kinda way about the question.

nikkas throwing the baby out with bath water on this one.

Somebody needs to investigate the NBA Lottery lowkey.

There has been alot of suspect shyt over the years and I remember when they use to actually show the lottery machine and the balls being picked and now they need to do that part in private?

That was a surprise" wink, wink type of tweets...Stern didn't ether shyt but he did prove that he's a muthafukka who'll go for the low blow and wouldn't be surprised if he tried to keep athletes from going on the show...dude is vindictive muthafukka

But what's the point in asking him this question when he's going to say no though? Is he going to break down and say YES? I used to listen to Rome damn near every morning back in the day and trust me I'm surprised this doesn't happen to him at least once a week. His tactics work most of the time especially on the pro athletes who aren't quick thinkers but some of his shtick isn't going to work on every body, especially a jew lawyer who's been commish for 30 plus years

I bet you think someone should keep asking the CIA who killed JFK too, huh?

really?? Well you do rep UVA but on the real, don't you think a league that depends on your money to stay afloat should at least have a little transparency when it comes to stuff like the lottery, asking for tax payer money for arenas, etc.???
