Stern Says He Still May Punish Knicks Over Thomas Case
Good to see NBA commissioner David Stern is still in the mix in the wake of the Isiah Thomas Case.
The commissioner stressed he has not ruled out the possibility of taking punitive action against the New York Knicks or coach Thomas in the wake of the civil action that reached its conclusion last week. Stern also said the league will not be firing any more of its referees after interviewing all 60 on staff to find further conduct violations following the Tim Donaghy betting scandal over the summer.
Stern was speaking in London before the Boston Celtics played the Minnesota Timberwolves at the O2 Arena as part of the NBA's Europe Live tour. He reacted angrily to reports that he is planning no action against the Knicks, team owner James Dolan or Thomas himself.
"Unfortunately, once again the New York Times headline writer said something that didn't appear in the text of my remarks, and the remarks themselves were badly mangled," Stern said.
Good to see the commissioner being the commissioner.
