Stern To Reveal Big Surprise On Draft Night

What's in the black box? Only David Stern knows for sure.

But until then, everyone else is likely to speculate that the NBA is unveiling a new official ball that will replace the current one in the NBA.

A news article on NBA.com reads:

"On June 28, NBA Commissioner David Stern will introduce the NBA's newest employees, as he announces the Class of 2006. Before that, however, he will unveil the contents of the black box below -- sure to change the way you see the game. Check back Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. ET to see what's in the black box." [/b]

Im not liking this, I dont want change.

A New colorful ball will fit right in with the direction the NBA is going in.

The Bucks will be showing off their new Logo that night as well.

The nba dont need a new ball color, I swear this league is becoming so femine. How about we play with a pink and white ball and suspend players for every hard foul. I dont like the direction this league is heading at all.

The ball sucks. It's a composite ball (slippery, terrible) that really screws up your shot because of how slick it is. It's unnecessary really.

The league needs to realize that the apperance is not the reason for the decline. It's the lack of fundamentals.

Don't be fooled, it's not a ball! It's another non-call travel for Lebron James!

This is somewhat upsetting. I was hoping it would be a gun that he would lift to his temple and blow his brains out with. Stern is more than half the reason the league is starting to suck. And what we need is definitely a new ball, because that'll go perfectly with the lack-of-bling, business suits, and perfect-length shorts. Next, he'll say all black players have to have cornrows or be bald, and all white players' hair must be no longer than a foot-and-a-half in length from the top of their head. Sounds great, to me.

I may be a N00B here, but I think I'm going to start a poll that asks if Stern should be harmed so physically, mentally, and emotionally that he's almost literally a sobbing puddle of Stern-pulp, blood, and glasses. Did anyone watch the post-game content after the Heat won the finals? I think we should have taken a vote right there, by the fans, to see if Stern should be fired or not, because I'm damn sure that the majority would decide to off his ass, and the minority would also be 'physically harmed' to a pulp, or maybe a fine powder.

All in favor?

Yeh.

At first I didnt have a problem with Stern until all these rule changes and crap and now im starting not to like the guy either.

Combs · 06-27-2006, 02:29 PM

Yea Stern was at his first a few years ago. The he started to get a little bored I think and tried to fix things a little to much...and ended up screwing them up. it's funny how everything always goes back to the Pistons/Pacers Braw. It's like how George Bush uses 9/11 to reason all of his stupid decisions. Stern is doing the same thing with that.

KG-MVP21 · 06-27-2006, 07:22 PM

Stealth · 06-28-2006, 02:36 AM

DTP · 06-28-2006, 02:38 AM
