David Stern isn't on a power trip, hes just making sure the NBA follows the rules. Wearing 42 is showing more than enough appreciation.

Some people make a mountain out of a mole hill.

- jesus christ, does thie really have to be spelled out for you?? i mean seriously?

- no, its not the same sport. but Jackie Robinson helped break the color barrier for ALL SPORTS?

its not that people make a mountain out of a mole hill, insome cases white people are just oblivious to whats really going on.



- personally, if i was stackhouse? i would have done a Chad Johnson and had my Jersey altered and just paid the fine. it wasnt as if they wouldnt let him play.think how much press he would have gotten had they fined him for that?

His jersey got stolen at the arena and they had no spares. Are you suggesting they shuld have delayed the game for Jordan to get his jersey? i think not. Anyways they made sure to bring spares to the following games.
