BREAKING: Former NBA commissioner David Stern has died as a result of the brain hemorrhage he suffered in December. Stern was 77.
“For 22 years, I had a courtside seat to watch David in action. He was a mentor and one of my dearest friends. We spent countless hours in the office, at arenas and on planes wherever the game would take us. Like every NBA legend, David had extraordinary talents, but with him it was always about the fundamentals – preparation, attention to detail, and hard work.“David took over the NBA in 1984 with the league at a crossroads.
He launched groundbreaking media and marketing partnerships, digital assets and social responsibility programs that have brought the game to billions of people around the world. Because of David, the NBA is a truly global brand – making him not only one of the greatest sports commissioners of all time but also one of the most influential business leaders of his generation.“Every member of the NBA family is the beneficiary of David’s vision, generosity and inspiration.
