Does anyone else find it comical that Stu Jackson openly admitted Duncan shouldn't have been on the court, but dished out no disciplinary action to the findings?
perhaps you should put out the whole quote so it is not taken out of context. I read something entire different from the same words.
BTW. David Stern has been the worst commish ever, if I read your words right.
From Gilligan's own mouth
This was different, NBA vice president Stu Jackson said. Duncan “should not have been on the court,” he said. But, “There was no altercation.”
What does that mean? Like he shouldn't be on the court but if he was oh well?

so how is Stern the worst commish ever? Made the NBA a spotlight sport, brought it back from a drug filled 70/80's, highlighted Jordan, made oodles of $$ for everyone.
He's been the beneficiary of Greatest Ever Talents entering in the league on his watch. The players brought the league back not that NITWIT and when those players left so has a major part of the game. There are very few 1 star team career players left because he's created a greedy financial environment. With this he's created the opportunities for scrubs to kill franhcises by FA off-season signings. We've seen stars more than ever try and hold franchises hostage because of this environment. We've seen more blockbuster deals involving 75% scrub players. We've seen expansion teams water down this league. We've seen franchises tank. We've seen less fundamentals and more playground because of the high school love fest kill the game. It's been modified/tweaked a little but the damage has been done. We've seen stars stats pad to get that new contract and then tank once they get them. Where do I stop I could go on and on and on
hell why did you stop? keep going, you are 100% correct and I could not agree more. Another thing is how the league has caved into the players to the detriment of the NBA. this is the only pro league where you can sign a player to a huge deal and have his deal kill a franchise. In football you can cut a player and all you are on the hook is for the signing bonus, in baseball you can trade a big money player for a smaller money player as long as you can afford it, but the key is, in foot ball and baseball, teams can move players and are not held hostage by max contracts. Tell me, is it going to benefit the league when the bucks will be hamstrung by redds contract? just look at our knicks? If jerry west wanted to come take over this job he couldn't do a damn thing because of the idiotic moves of his predecessors.....
he's created a greedy financial environment
.
yup, and there is no better example of that than sprewell who refuses to come back and play for a measly vets min of 1 mil per year, because obviously that is not enough money to feed his kids!!!!! wht bull ****!
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
