He grew the NBA from finals games being shown on tape delay, to a marketing, global, world wide phenomenon .The commissioner is an unlikeable job. It's always going to be a lightning rod for criticism but Stern always handled it like a pro.
I think amongst many Mav fans, they'll always resent him for 2006 NBA Finals but for the NBA as a whole, he was truly brilliant. He played a bigger role than I realized in my childhood of becoming an NBA fan. Stern will be missed.
