I often disagreed with the longtime NBA commissioner during my playing days, but our interactions bred a grudging mutual respect
The passing of longtime NBA commissioner David Stern has prompted impassioned reactions in
basketball circles over the past week. On one hand, Stern was a visionary figure of far-reaching influence who transformed a second-class league into a global marketing force. But he was also a man who leaves behind a complex legacy, one that was captured in the comments that trickled onto my
Facebook page when I offered my condolences.
