In an interesting turn of events, NBA commissioner, David Stern, decided to enter his name onto the 2010 dunk contest. When asked for comments on the decision, Stern simply replied that the amount of respect for him has diminished greatly to the point that it personally concerns him.
It’s no secret that the development of controversy around the league has swirled as of late with rumors of referees favoring superstars, questionable calls and non-calls, and of course, Tim Donaghy. “Me declaring for the contest will certainly boost ratings, and fans of the league back on my side. I see this as a ‘win-win’ situation.” said Stern while laughing. “But what if you lose? or worse, couldn’t you be injured?” I asked, Stern then winked and replied that the refs are responsible for making sure players won’t get fouled.
O.o?
