for a decade of electric playmaking on the court, and for your powerful contributions off of it too. We appreciate everything you did to give back to our local community and know that all of your hard work will get you back to winning on the court soon. ❤️
💔 This news is so very sad, and not the way we all hoped to begin 2020. David Stern was truly a giant and I feel privileged and honored to have met and known him. He was very kind to me, giving me time of day when I certainly didn’t deserve it. He will be missed. RIP David Stern
David Stern — the Hall of Fame ex-NBA Commissioner — has died at 77 years old. He oversaw tremendous growth in his 30 years as commissioner, retiring in 2014. Stern had been hospitalized since a brain hemorrhage on Dec. 17.
