OT: What if David Stern entered...

the United States of America Presidential Race? Does he fit the typecast of a US President? Does his tenure as the NBA Commissioner indicate any correlation of how he'd run this country?! I'm very curious to hear people's reaction to this because of all the mixed perceptions fans had on Stern's career.
And how would he stack this election year? Let's say he was running for some particular third party.
This thread was made for the intentions of sparking humor and eliminating off-season boredom. This thread is not intended to create a political debate however its safe to assume there will be some (hopefully light) jabs at our current candidates

It is hard for anyone to say they'd vote for someone without knowing where they stand on various issues.
But he most definitely could run if he wanted to and would be taken serious if he says what voters want to hear, for better or worse...

Obama was elected again, so I don't see why not

You want to consider how Stern would go as US president? He was a cheating deceiving dictator in the NBA, i imagine he would run a country in the same way.

He's like a morph of Newt Gingrich and Bernie Sanders looks wise, and I agree with the above-prob like Hillary between the ears.

He would probably sell the State of Washington (Seattle) to Canada.

I'll never understand all the hate for Stern. He took over an NBA that was in shambles, left with the NBA at an all-time high in terms of revenue and in prime position to secure a massive TV deal. When you look at his tenure as commissioner understanding that the owners of NBA franchises were his client (read: not the players), you can see that he did an outstanding job.
Oh yeah, he also groomed his replacement in Adam Silver and he's doing a bang up job thus far. I don't know that Stern would be a great politician, but he was a fine commissioner of the NBA.

In the UK, when we were all expecting the former Prme Minister to resign, this is all that was on the TV:
Of course this led to wide-spread twitter conversations that:
"David Cameron has been replaced by a Cat."..

He would rank about 4% ahead of Hillary.
