Hm, David Stern was always humble and fair. Can that truly be said about Vince? The similarity is that they were both visionaries, but one truly cared about his employees, the other does not.
I didn’t know him or much about him, but I have yet to hear anyone say a bad thing about him. R.I.P. to all the nba and tnt family have lost this year, cheers everyone 🍻
Put him on Mt Rushmore of basketball behind the scenes/off the court. One of the greatest sporting commissioners to walk the earth and promoting the sport worldwide both on and off the court.
NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I WOULD LOOK AT CLIP AND SEE KOBE AND DAVID TOGETHER AND LOSING BOTH OF THEM THE SAME MONTH SMH.TWO HALL OF FAMERS.
Wasn't david stern known for gambling of nba games with Michael Jordan. In fact I thought that was a big reason why he made Michael retire right around the time Michael's dad was murdered. I don't believe in coincidences
I hate cheaters. Stern ruined authentic competition with his rigging. Sad to hear all these players only care about the money instead of the actual game.
One needs to stop and think about all that David Stern has done for the NBA! People have quickly forgotten about Mr. Stern. However, there are too many people that are remembering Bryant like he is some sort of Saint or perfect person. Why? I am here to tell you he was NOT a saint and there is nothing this side of heaven that is perfect. The adulation of Bryant should be much less after three weeks. Instead, it gives worse every day. Stop this nonsense!
Chuck called it. When you take over a bad situation you have to be strict to get things in order. Just like Donald Trump had to be to fight off the government we all knew were corrupt way before Trump came.
Shaq’s story genuinely made me smile. You can tell this man was truly loved by the players.
I’m watching this in the uk in London and I fell in love with the game all cause of mr stern. RIP David Stern
Thank you to David Stern, NBC and TNT for the memories!!!
Man was the Vince McMahon of the NBA. Along with the talent of the players he made the league into what it is today

Rest up commissioner
I feel like everyone forgot about his death after Kobe died
Nobody was even acknowledging him a couple days after his death, if kobe never shook his hand, kobe wouldn't have been who he was
I don’t think people necessarily forgot. It’s just that kobe and Covid overshadowed everything.
🐐
pioneer
2:58 🙏🏾😔
Kenny’s references are always very deep man
The only thing he couldn't do was pronounce champion correctly
How did he pass?
David stern the creator of nba correctly if im wrong😊🤔
Wasn't david stern known for gambling of nba games with Michael Jordan. In fact I thought that was a big reason why he made Michael retire right around the time Michael's dad was murdered. I don't believe in coincidences
And little did we know that JUST 25 days later, we would be hit with ANOTHER tragedy
SHAQ JUST TOLD THE WORLD THE LOTTERY IS KAP WHEN A SUPER STARS IS N IT!!! COUGH COUGH PATRICK EWING!!!
The NBA hasn't been the same since he retired
2:19-2:22 ??????????????
Tbh, i Thought this was long overdue. The League owes a lot of its success to his stewardship over a really long period.
I hate cheaters. Stern ruined authentic competition with his rigging.
Sad to hear all these players only care about the money instead of the actual game.
Did Shaq just accidentally snitch? 🧐
3:23 Cookie Monster's voice? Really? Why?
That's Dikembe Mutumbo y'all
He was 78 guys...
We can still mourn
Rest in peace David Stern who made the NBA great!! Just like President TRUMP 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸
Only thing nba teaches iff the court in life is how to be a weasel and choose money over family and people and honor and respect,and principles

Basketball is boring like golf,women tennis is more exciting 🤣🤮
