There's a survivor's depth in that franchise that's lasted. Hence the trophies. <br /><br />Seattle brought the Stanley Cup to the US for the first time. They belong in the NHL, not the NBA. but in the '60s and '70s, the NBA preferred growth markets-- Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Houston-- to hooptowns.

I'm sure he knows to cherry pick company guy refs to officiate deciding games in the playoffs where the league's marquee franchise is playing in elimination games. Does anyone over the age of 25 even watch the NBA who isn't in NYC, LA, or Miami? Basketball has the opposite problem of baseball, In MLB, the fan base is aging, in the NBA it never ages, people lose interest after high school or college because they realize the certain teams and players get preferential treatment in the playoffs and therefore the postseason is a farce.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-51405397649437120232014-01-28T14:39:02.565-08:002014-01-28T14:39:02.565-08:00If Jews were as nepotistic as you imply, there wou...<i>If Jews were as nepotistic as you imply, there would be at least some Jewish players in the NBA </i><br /><br />Israelis Gal Mekel and Omri Moshe Casspi are Jewish. <br /><br />Jordan Farmar is generally considered Jewish.

Which constantly promote "diversity" in coaching but not in things that matter -- like Commissioners who can make or break a league.<br /><br />Personally, I think oh I dunno, Ron Artest or Allan Iverson would make a much better street-oriented "diverse" commissioner in the NBA than this guy Silver. And given how much money "diversity" makes, why not demand the NBA make Ron or Allan the next Commissioner? After all, wouldn't you want a diverse commissioner instead of a boring White Jewish lawyer?<br /><br />Alinksy -- make them live by their own rules.Whiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854764809682029464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-17463990018772428032014-01-27T17:24:40.065-08:002014-01-27T17:24:40.065-08:00This isn't the same Steve Sailer who wanted w...This isn't the same Steve Sailer who wanted wealthy Jews to get involved in college/professional sports is it?anony-mousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-64681558921709942362014-01-27T16:40:57.782-08:002014-01-27T16:40:57.782-08:00David Stern is hoping to get his name in that leaf...David Stern is hoping to get his name in that leaflet, "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoACIIz33II/" rel="nofollow">Famous Jewish Sports Legends</a>."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-26056675376182931342014-01-27T16:32:48.632-08:002014-01-27T16:32:48.632-08:00That linked article about Bryant Gumbel is funny. ...That linked article about Bryant Gumbel is funny.
