So Lebron will become teh goat?

stern is a coward for dodging this question...

David Stern vetoed that Chris Paul trade as an ode to Micheal Jordan. MJ and Stern came into the league together and MJ along with Stern's determination made the NBA an international conglomerate. MJ got to purchase the Hornets because of Stern's approval. These two have a very close personal and business friendship. With Jordan being so competitive, he did NOT want this trade to happen because Kobe Bryant had just won his 5th NBA championship the year before the trade and with the help of Chris Paul would have surpassed him for total championships. Jordan made a call to Stern and asked him to veto the trade because he did NOT want Kobe surpassing him in ring totals especially with everyone comparing them against each other. (Who's better? M.J. or Kobe? Right?) That's why Stern said he vetoed it for "basketball reasons". MJ was the reason for the veto and the Lakers haven't been the same since. In fact, Mitch Kupchak, GM of the Lakers has a beef with Stern til this day because of Stern and his bullshit. End of story.

Because the owner back then of the New Orleans Hornets sold the team to the NBA. David Stern has control of what the NOL Hornets are doing and was able to veto the trade.

Months later the draft latterly would be won by New Orleans. CP3 gone to the Clippers and Anthony Davis is drafted #1. Fast forward 8 years and AD wins the Lakers a title alongside Lebron. Wow

bro, the only time you veto a trade is if a team gets for example: kobe and shaq for kwame brown.

Everytime I see this I laugh bc of how much of a serial killer stern seems like. He’s like “if you keep asking questions I’ll veto you too”

He did it so the heat and Lebron was big so he could market them. if he did this trade the lakers would be to good for Miami.

+savedbythebellnascar I doubt that. No Odom or Gasol would've been too much for the Lakers to offset THAT year. But CP3 + Kobe = free agents. Even if you don't like Kobe, CP3 would've been the ball handler and other stars would've come to the Lakers and played with him. It was the whining of the owners because the Lakers had location + assets + history working for them. So Stern undercut that IMHO as a means of trying to even the deck. And well, it worked. That and an awful trade to acquire a washed Steve Nash + Dwight Howard already being on the downside of his career when he was acquired. Now, you have to team build regardless of location. Which I do kind of like...but at the same time, it makes it seem more like a plantation. Players shouldn't be restricted by artificial means and the way the salary cap and deals are constructed now, free agency punishes teams more than ever

If there’s a hell David stern is there

Up to this day, I still hate Stern 😤

We all know why. Kobe would have passed Jordan and been Goat. Lebron would have been out of the conversation completely. It’s that simple. The NBA hated Kobe.

“I didn’t do it, the guy who has my name did it.”

Stern better never step foot in L.A.... ever.

I didn’t vetoed anything I was just told what to do so I did it cause I have the power

David Stern was the Jerry Heller of NBA.

Thats why stern die, cause he stop the deal

David Stern also blocked NeNe & Paul Gasol from going to The Rockets I believe in 2010 or 2011. Carroll Dawson was irate. I believe that's why he retired or stepped down to avoid a lawsuit.

Jimmy Hoffa of nba!! It was clear he doesn't like the lakers.

There was no legitimate business reason for this move. Let's call this business model exactly what it is. (Maybe rent to own?) I'm sure Pope Vich was outraged and advised Chris Paul not to cave. Yeah right.
