What does David Stern make?

I was reading the 990 Form for the NFL and the NFL Commissioner currently makes 10MM per year in salary. That seemed like alot, but I remember in the late 90s, David Stern made more money than any commissioner at 2.8MM per. I was wondering if he is still leading in salary and what his current salary is. Also is the NBA a "non profit" organization like the NFL?

I believe he's taking home about $7-8 million per season.

Not that I like Stern but that number seems a bit low when you consider that CEOs'/Presidents of corporations smaller than the NBA make more money...
