That’s all there is to it. He just hates it when the players, coaches, and a lot of fans call it the way they see it: that some refs give favorable treatment to star players. Stern is such a tool.

When the AZ Republic published Stern’s phone number, I called to express my dismay at the officiating. I took pains to be polite when I reported my reason for making the call. Nonetheless, the operator hung up on me! I interpreted that to mean that the NBA has a surplus of fans. I consequently decided to help them out in that regard, and have not watched a game since! I will not return to NBA fan-dom until David Stern is put out to pasture.
