So livid, Stern would barely even look at Hunter when Hunter handed him the microphone. And soon, Stern started reciting his résumé, his decades of labor fights and legal battles in the NBA. Here’s how much the NBA was worth and here’s where I’ve brought it, he said. Everyone could see the anger rising within him, but no one expected the words that tumbled out of his mouth.
Stern told the room he knows where “the bodies are buried” in the NBA, witnesses recounted, because he had buried some of them himself.

David Stern has always made clear the NBA is a business. He knows whats good for business, and thats not having the Indiana's of the world playing the Memphis's of the world. Again the NBA does not FIX games outright, that's impossible. They simply manipulate the circumstances to favor the teams (i.e. Knicks, Lakers, Celtics etc) that Stern wants to see in the Finals (like his dream of a Lakers-Lakers final). If people wanna believe the NBA is totally legit, I guess there are people who believe Santa is real too. Thing is, those people are mostly 12 and under.
