Say what you want about David Stern, and I say that he is a dictator who micromanages and wants to stifle players' personality and freedom of expression, but sometimes it's good to have a guy who will do what he thinks is right without trying to build a consensus.
Stern banned Tim Hardaway from All-Star weekend in Las Vegas.
"It is inappropriate for him to be representing us given the disparity between his views and ours," Stern said.
Hardaway was already in Las Vegas and scheduled to make a series of public appearances this week on behalf of the league. He attended an NBA Cares event at a Las Vegas YMCA with Knicks forward Jerome Williams on Tuesday. The ex-U.S. Olympian was also originally scheduled to be an assistant coach at a wheelchair game Thursday night and later appear at the fan-oriented Jam Session.
I assume Stern made this decision like he made the decision to suspend Ron Artest for the whole season, unanimously, "one-nothing."
