Other than that, he was a great commissioner. I remember those tape-delays. Brutal!

And then we told the rest of the refs to cheat and make up calls so nobody would notice another Donaghy. Man, those were good days.

Clearly crushing fan bases doesn’t bother him.

The biases officiating is reminding people of the WWE. I don’t think you want that.

You had Shaq and Kobe, and he did as good as you can do with pushing them. You had…who else… Allen Iverson? Ball skills, yes. WASP likeability… uuuhhh…

But I think nowadays with LeBron with his ring in his prime, Kobe at the end of a HOF career, and OKC, D. Rose, you have a lot of star power that should push a lot of dollars. Not that a commission can control their worldwide likeability either

Sincerely,
NBA Fans
