NBPA Statement on the Passing of David Stern

NEW YORK, January 1, 2020 – "The entire basketball community is heartbroken.  David Stern earned and deserved inclusion in our land of giants.  His impact on our game and our business is immeasurable and the rewards we reap will continue to be appreciated by NBA players and their families for generations.  As tough an adversary as he was across the table, he never failed to recognize the value of our players, and had the vision and courage to make them the focus of our league’s marketing efforts - building the NBA into the empire it is today.  We owe him and we will miss him."
