David Stern awkwardness on draft night

[GoRapz]

Why does Stern always have that stupid smerk on his face every time he's up on the podium?

Because people are booing him.

Exactly. Thought it was obvious.

I have enjoyed David Stern's presence tonight.

[BGriffin's Dad]

he has that smirk on his face a lot.. i remember seeing him smirking in interviews during the lockout too

[ukfan22]

Stern is the man

[Kobe 4 The Win]

He also seemed to have a hard time spitting out that it was the 2012 draft the first 5 or 6 picks.

[AK47DR91]

:oldlol: Were they booing him when he did this?
Yes. He mentioned "the NBA champion" Miami Heat right before the #1 pick. :lol

[SevereUpInHere]

[Fudge]

Dude was trollin them. :oldlol:

[bmulls]

Stern has really grown on me

[Wally450]

They'd boo whoever was at the podium

[B-Low]

Stern is hitting Vince McMahon levels of antagonism now that he's embracing the fact that people hate him

[DuMa]

only thing left for Stern to do is the vince walk. he is absolutely killin it out there. such a joy watching him operate the crowd

[Rake2204]

David Stern is the man.

[Tenchi Ryu]

Been embracing it for a few years now. And as much hate as he gets, I love him for how he reacts to it. Reminds me when the Owner for GS got boo'd for trading away Monta Ellis. He straight folded under pressure and looked like a bitch. Stern don't give a rat's ass what you think, and he openly enjoys his villain role. I love every min of seeing him embrace it too.

[IGotACoolStory]

He handled it fantastically.

Props to show such a sense of humor. :applause:

[irondarts]

Should be titled David Stern awesomeness on draft night. :bowdown:

[Colbertnation64]

uh, then why do they cheer whenever Adam comes on stage for the 2nd pick?

[JustinJDW]

He should start giving dap to all the players like Roger Goodell.

He needs to rip of his shirt revealing a Miami jersey, then run out and do the hulkan thing
Would be the greatest thing on tv this year

[AMISTILLILL]

Pretty sure putting your hand up to your ear isn't a unique phenomenon exclusive to Hulk Hogan.

[nathanjizzle]

he is so fucin passive aggressive. remember around the 26 pick, the crowd was booing him because he was delayed coming out to announce the pick, so he finally came out and stood there with a smile on his face for like 10 seconds not saying anything like "i could stand here all day i dont have to do or say shit for you people"

Stern is mad funny though. From "For basketball reasons." to "Are you still beating your wife?" LOL

yea he embraced his villain role fantastically
he is one helluva funny guy :oldlol:

[Timmy D for MVP]

Stern literally does not give a **** just in life. It's really funny to watch. He's the boss, and he just acts like it.

[Joshumitsu]

He knows what the fans think of him (Dictator/Greedy/Conspirator/Liar/Connections to the mob/Responsible for war and poverty in the third world/etc).

But in a way, despite being commissioner, he has no control any more than the fans do. The only way to react is to laugh it off.

Stern is a smug little ****. If anyone deserves to get a smirk smacked off of their face it's that prick. http://www.celticstown.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/david-stern-grin-500x330.jpg

[ILLsmak]

haha, was waiting for this one.

Stern is like "lol black ppl"

[Rake2204]

This is very likely an unpopular statement, but I'm going to miss David Stern when he leaves, for I'm not sure folks know how well they have it with him in charge. I don't think any commissioner is impervious to legal proceedings and NBA rulings that will leave him hated by many. So I feel whoever replaces David Stern will still have to deal with those issues. Only, the new guy may not be as likeable and entertaining (and no, "likeable" does not mean I think you guys all like him). David Stern has made bad decisions and maybe even horrible decisions, but I also feel like he's made a lot of great ones. I just really don't think (considering the positions he's been in) that David Stern has done a bad job at running and representing the NBA.

:roll: GOAT Commissioner :roll:

[taucesays]

I was trying to read his lips as he was talking to the draftees. I think was saying "smile for the camera". Dance puppets dance.

I love how Stern was basically admitting he is a Heat fan :oldlol:

Corrupt asshole.

Holy shit:roll: :roll:

They were booing him so hard initially that he just felt wierd reading that scripted out speech.. and then he started laughing beofre he announced the Heat's championship cuz he knew it would egg them on more.:lol

[tomtucker]

[mrpibb]

Corrupt asshole.

I love how you're basically admitting how much you irrationally hate the Heat by thinking this. Ignored, buddy.
