I thought he was a horrible commissioner, but he went out like a freaking boss last night.

How could you possibly think he was a horrible commissioner? He's possibly the best commissioner of any US sport ever. Look at where the NBA and basketball in general was 30 years ago when he took over compared to today.

Regarding on-court matters, absolutely. When you see a boring game where the score is in the 70's, when you see a player suspended for having one foot on the court while there's a fight on the opposite end of the floor, or when you see a mysterious string of 3-second violations when a team is up by 18 late in the fourth, you can thank Stern for all this.

Regarding off-court matters--namely, how he handled the Magic Johnson situation and the global spreading of the game's popularity--he has been great.

The NBA had a coke problem and the finals were on tape-delay when he came into power. I think he has done a fantastic job. Yeah he had the ref problem, but thats going to happen in the easiset sport to shave points, that's really the only major pockmark on his career. But being around for 30 years thats not bad at all.

how on earth can you look at the totality of Stern's 30 year career and say he was a horrible commissioner?
