Were quick to bash Stern, But...
The relief that was provided for the community in New Orleans this weekend is really a story that is going to get overlooked. Sure there are a few commercials promoting what they did, but Im sure that's not enough. It provided great entertainment, money and most of all smiles on the kids faces. Kudos David Stern for this one.

I agree, David Stern is a truly amazing business man, but to say he does not care about the fans is ridicilous, every move he makes is to make money, who does he get that money from? the fans? its only in his best interest to care about the fans and communities.

wtf are you talking about?
ive been told that nba cares at least a million times this weekend alone


Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:
"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

You can't hate too much on what nba cares has done even if it is for selfish reasons... the true heroes are the ones that put effort without wanting recognition. Stern did it for recognition to make nba basketball look better... but he doesnt care about other people more then himself.. The guy is as selfish as it gets.

If the NBA really cared, they'd be doing this more than 1 week a year, and it wouldn't have cameras following them around the entire time.
I mean, the work itself was AWESOME, and needs to be done, and having big names doing it is also a boon, but cmon, it wasn't like Kobe called KG and they just decided to go help rebuild out of the blue.

Thank you for all the memories BRoy. You were a class act and brought hope to an entire region for 5 years. You will be missed.

actually KG already donated 1.2 million, all of which went to rebuilding efforts, and that was way before this, it was while he was still a timberwolf.
