Nba: Sterns Sacrifical Lamb

Why is David Stern doing this?  Why did he send the Sixers over to play against international competition?  He continues to destroy the perception of the quality of basketball played in the USA.  Jason Whitlock wrote an article about 2 months ago about how the NBA players playing in these international tournaments is actually bad business for the NBA.

I agree.

Before, people were turned off by a perception of lack of fundamental.  Now, with us going over there and having NBA teams lose to international teams, they have their thoughts validated.

Please David Stern, if you are going to send over a team to market the NBA, send one over that is going to win.

Stop sacrificing the perception of the quality of the NBA for the money you will make abroad. 

He doesn't carry about selling the game here anymore, he has taken it over-seas.
