this may just be me being chock full of memories of his performance during the 2009 championship run but we could really use his style of play

I haven't followed his career at all since he left.

his fg% has dipped pretty significantly since he left, but he has had similar stats....kind of. since he left LA, he has averaged 11.55/5.25/2.8 which are all higher averages than when he was in LA. but his shooting has gone from the high 40s to the low 40s/high 30s

was traded to washington in june of last year. if IIRC he was traded from houston to new orleans so his 5 year contract is still in effect. that means he has one more year

a real highlight in my estimation is a chest pass or a bounce pass

not only that, but it was so close to dying in the 70s. the trio of magic/bird/MJ saved the league and not only that, they made it one of the most popular sports in the entire world. not enough could be said about those three players and david sterns ability to market stars and create grassroot programs in other countries. i mean hes still a motherfricking a-hole, but he did an insane job in the 80 and 90s as a commissioner

agreed. For all the shite I like to talk about him I really believe he's the best commissioner in sports

the game has changed. its player ran now. i really dont see a new gm coming in and being able to do much just because the players have all the power now

Yup. Did a fantastic job, then rested on his laurels for over a decade. But at least he had laurels upon which to rest.

He's been on coast since MJ retired the second time. 15 years ago.

I'll probably never forgive him for blocking the CP3 trade. And this past year I thought fining Pop and Co. 250k for resting his players in a regular season november game was atrocious

The irony of Pop and Co. making the Finals for doing precisely what got them fined was great, though
