Report: Stern to step down in two years
NBA Commissionaire David Stern is expected to inform the league that he plans to step down after two more seasons.The New York Daily News is reporting that Stern plans on making this announcement during April’s Board of Governors meeting in New York. “At one point, he had talked about doing it for one more season, but it looks now like two more,” the source is quoted as saying.Stern, who has served as the NBA Commissionaire since 1984, gave a glowing endorsement to deputy Adam Silver during last weekend’s NBA All-Star break and told reporters he thinks Silver would be a wise choice as his replacement.”One of the things that a good CEO does — and I try to be a good CEO — is provide his board with a spectacular choice for its successor, and I think I’ve done that, and that’s Adam,” Stern told the media last week.”He’s a first-rate, top-of-the-class executive … if I were doing it myself, he would be the commissioner.”
