The king of American poetry
In 2019, David Stern was investigated and summoned by the judicial authorities for "game rigging", "illegal gambling", "illegal draft" and other issues, and he was asked the following questions by prosecutors during the hearing: "In the 1994 finals, Olajuwon missed the third game due to food poisoning, is there someone behind it?" "No, it was purely an accident." "When Michael Jordan came back in 1995, but the Chicago Bulls gave up signing with him, was there a threat behind it?" "No, it's the result of a negotiation between the Bulls and Jordan." "In the 1999 collective bargaining, the agreement was not in favor of the players, whether there was a behind-the-scenes instigation." "No, it was the result of unanimous discussion among the players." "In 2002, the champion was signed to the New York Knicks, is there a black-box operation?" "No, that's pure luck." "Mr. David Stern, are you a member of the Hearts? Is your president a man known as the King of Poetry? "No, I'm Christian and don't belong to any organization. I don't know who you're talking about. "Then do you know a guy named Arthur Luciano?" Stern was silent for a while, and then said, "Yes, he is a cook, and his dishes are delicious." On January 1, 2020, David Stern died of a cerebral hemorrhage, less than a week after the hearing. In March of the same year, Silva resigned, and the NBA declared bankruptcy. And it all started with a dinner party in an Italian restaurant in 1994.
