An Open Letter To David Stern
Dear Mr. Stern:
I just wanted to write and share a few thoughts with you. However, I feared that sending a letter via “snail mail” or a regular e-mail would not get your attention. My friends suggested that I devote a blog entry to sharing my thoughts with you, but I told them that you didn’t read blogs. After all, the playoffs are in full swing and require your full attention. I told them that you were busy reviewing tapes of the games to ensure that the officials called each game properly and that you couldn’t possibly find time to read a blog.
Imagine my shock and joy to discover that you do indeed read blogs. Apparently, Mr. Cuban decided to share a few ideas on how to ensure the playoffs feature the best officiating possible. I guess these comments hurt your feelings and you felt that $100,000.00 fine would cheer you up. Indeed, fining Mark Cuban in the past has made you swell with joy.
Sorry about the loss last night. I know that watching the Spurs fall to the Mavs truly breaks your heart. I can only imagine the pain you must have felt watching Mr. Duncan sob like no grown man should. I can only imagine the pain in your heart watching Little Manu bite his precious little lip. I’m sure you will find some way to ease the pain caused by the organization you love so. After all, you and your media buddies will not be happy unless you can draw even less of an audience than last year’s Finals.
Obviously, the Mavs fans, players and owner are way too passionate for your taste. The bitter taste of the Knicks continual slide has made you quiet callous and you no longer enjoy this game. A bit of advice, let go, Willis Reed is forever gone.
In closing, I look forward to June. I wonder how awkward it will be for you to present Mr. Cuban with the Larry O’Brien Trophy. For once, you will have to swallow your pride and admit that you are not the smartest man in the NBA and that the “maverick” in Dallas got it right.
With kindest regards,
