i idolize nikkas like stern who can fukk people over and be like "deal with it"
So David Stern WENT IN on Jim Rome today? :heh:
- Thread starter Rev
- Start date
I can't believe so many people on here are on Stern's nuts. I don't even like Jim Rome like that, but it was nothing wrong with the question he asked. It was a softball question. Rome wasn't going to grill him about the league owning the team. All Stern had to say is it is crazy for people to believe the league would fix the lotto. That would of been the end of the story.
The reason this is not a unfair question is a lot of people believe that the lottery is fixed. After the lottery there was a poll at found that the majority of the people who watched the lotto thought it was fixed.
Y'all get too caught up on he "went in", or he's a g. The only thing Stern did is bring more attention to this issue. It was a dumb move. Nobody would of been talking about this interview, or this issue if Stern answered the question like a normal human being. This bring attention back on the league owning the Hornets, and how they blocked The Lakers trade for Paul.
And Rome wins big. His ratings are going to be sky high tomorrow and the rest of the week because of this. Also Rome said he didn't think the lottery was fixed weeks ago, so Stern really went off for no reason.

fukk jim rome....he is the biggest sellout in the history of talk radio. And anybody that followed his career will tell you that shyt....he been had this beatdown coming
This is going over too many of y'all heads.
so school me, wise one.
since when does the burden of proof fall on the individual alleged of something?
Stern said no. And went over how regardless of the results people would claim the fix was in.
And this isn't the first time he's been asked the question, and it's not the first time he's responded with the
No. People have been calling the lotto fixed since the first one in 85 when they did the drawing live.And yes, Rome would've went into the NBA owning the team and other shyt regarding the lottery, he wasn't just gonna change topics after Stern said no. Regardless of Stern's answer, the story was gonna be Rome grills Stern about the lottery.
You don't ask a question about a serious issue like rigging a draft like that simply because "people are talking". Rigging a draft could force Stern out of his job and the NBA into a serious crisis. You need actual evidence to back up a big question like that. That's how journalists get their asses handed to them by athletes/coaches/GM's. Not only do you make a fool of yourself in the public eye, but it trivializes a potentially serious issue when Stern's able to swat it away with such ease.
Nobody's talking about the Hornets or the Lakers trade (Seriously, the only people who still care about the CP blocked trade are Laker fans). It was a dumb question; Stern was never going to answer it, and Rome got what was coming to him for framing it in such an unprofessional manner.
It's supposed to be a rhetorical question. Besides, Rome doesn't want to waste time talking to the NBA commissioner during the NBA Finals about how he never beat his wife. It would send the interview off the rails and immediately make it a joke.
Read the first few pages of the thread. It's established pretty quickly that it's something lawyers say all the time.
Stern is just mad because rome is ballin harder. fukk david stern. Carl in rosemead thinks david sern is an idiot.
