Jim Rome's show is infantile at best.

He, however, is usually one of the best at interviews.

In this case, however, he should have framed the question differently.

This wasn't a performance review with my employer. This was an interviewer asking the commissioner of the NBA a pointed but valid question that was on the minds of millions of people.
with no facts AT ALL, it wasn't valid question.

it was a cheap shot ala jason whitlock

Rome just trying to get attention

If he really wants to do something then tell him to do some real investigation and find some proof.

He didn't give his word. He could have, but he chose to take the "I won't even dignify that with a response" route, and he simply hasn't earned that right.

Doesn't an investigation start with asking Stern that very question?

The referee gave his word that he would be honest and not gamble by taking the job. I wasn't talking about Stern himself.

Yes it is as it pertains to you and no that isn't always the case. Especially when the question is framed in such a way to defame the interviewee.

And that's a job for law enforcement should there actually be a case. But there isn't. this is just a bunch of people butt hurt because someting they expected to happen...didn't happen.

Mr. Laz 06-13-2012 02:20 PM
"Commissioner Stern, there are many fans around the league that question the validity of the NBA Lottery. The word 'fixed' seems to be the most common word used. What do you say in response to all the NBA fans about the Lottery?"


I'm sure one of you writer types can phrase it a lot better than i but you get the main idea. This is phrasing the question like the rumor and pr crap that it is, not like a legit question with some kind of factual basis.

Pistachio - Stern does it honestly.

Congress should get involved.

And it happened under Stern's watch. When something like that happens, you lose the right not to be asked questions when other fishy things happen.

The NBA, and Boxing are getting closer to being a joke like wrestlilng.

Stern didn't like the question and he showed his ass in response.
Instead of taking the opportunity to dispel wide-spread speculation in a factual manner Stern went idiot.

I'm not a big fan of Stern, but Rome can DIAF. What little I've seen of him leaves me unimpressed to say the least.
