David Stern's assumption of the position of NBA president has changed many rules and drastic reforms, reversing the world's perception of the NBA, thus putting the NBA on a glorious path and achieving the reputation of "the world's number one sport".

Huge commercial profits, high luxury tax, ultra-high star salaries, tens of millions of contracts, 100 million yuan contracts, etc., are all behind the changes in the rules!

David Stern, born September 22, 1942 in New York, New York, USA, is a Jewish-American who graduated from Rutgers University in 1963 with a degree in history and Columbia Law School in 1966.

In 1978, he joined the NBA as general counsel, where he was involved in the development of the "free agent clause" and penalties for players who use drugs.

With the support of the Jewish Foundation, Stern was promoted to vice president of the league in 1980 and president of the NBA on February 1, 1984.

From the very beginning of his tenure, he introduced a salary cap system to balance the income and expenditure of the various teams; At that time, 17 of the 23 teams in the league were in the red, with a total value of only $400 million.

In 1984, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, and Michael Jordan joined the NBA in the same year.

Among them, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson, ushered in a new era of swingman and brought the NBA widespread media attention, thus bringing huge commercial profits to the league.

David Stern, as president, has a number of moves in the NBA's rules, as shown below.

He improved the NBA draft system to give teams that didn't make the playoffs a high pick, giving them the nickname "lottery zone."

He issued a ban on drugs and severely punished "drug-related" players. Two-time All-Star John Drew became the first player to be banned for life.

He re-set the punishment for malicious fouls, so that there are rules such as blowing penalties, penalty off-court, bans, and fines for malicious fouls, and binds the black hands and black feet and black elbows of the "Bad Boy Army" with one hand; Set for Bill-Ranbill.

He set up a reasonable collision zone; Set for Shaq-Oaker.

He set a 5-second exception for carrying the basket; For Charles Barkley.

He includes changing the rules, setting the time of the game, and all the rings in the game. The system of the festival is all based on TV broadcasting, including the pause time, and the official pause, all for the purpose of broadcasting advertisements; As a result, the TV station has formed a healthy competition in the purchase of broadcast rights, and the price is getting higher and higher. Starting with the revenue from television broadcasts, the NBA began to reap the high commercial profits.

He also distributed the TV broadcast revenue evenly among the teams, and each team was able to sell the broadcast rights in their own region, so that the team owner's pockets were bulging, and he had enough capital to give the All-Star players tens of millions of contracts, hundreds of millions of dollars.

Reasonable collision zone implementation time: 97-98 season.

"Big Shark" Shaq O'Neal was born, and after joining the Lakers in the 96-97 season, he entered the peak state, and with his strong body, he was invincible all over the world on the inside.

The interior player opposite him was forced to shrink into the basket box, and when O'Neal was attacking with the ball, he made offensive fouls one after another to limit Oaker's violent dunks.

In the '97-98 season, David Stern immediately revised the rules of the game and set up a reasonable collision zone.

That is, a 1.2-meter semi-circular arc is drawn with the center of the basket as the center, and in this area, as long as the defender and the ball carrier have physical contact, regardless of whether they move or not, they will be whistled for defensive fouls, so that the ball carrier can dunk unscrupulously.

Since then, dunks have become one of the important scoring methods for interior players and swing guards.

NBA three-second defense implementation time: 2001-02 season.

At the moment, there is no onerous rule for defending three seconds, and the NBA is still a world where centers and guards swing people coexist.

Once this rule is introduced, the big man inside will not be able to defend in the paint zone, the basketball game will be completely reduced to the world of swing guards, the center will be reduced to a coolie blue-collar, and the big forward will have to run to the outside jumper.

IN 2004, THE NOHANDCHECK RULE WAS INTRODUCED, AND IN FRONT OF THE PENALTY AREA, THE BREAKTHROUGH ADVANCE PLAYER SHOULD NOT MAKE ANY HAND TOUCH AND INTERFERENCE, OTHERWISE IT WILL BE FOULED. Since then, the centers have become the target of the opponent's cheat and foul, resulting in the center falling into the deep pit of coolie blue-collar workers within ten years.

NBA clothing restriction was implemented on October 26, 2005.

David Stern formulated this rule for Allen Iverson, the "NBA's number one public enemy", restricting the daily attire of active players to be business casual, and what sleeveless T-shirts, shorts, necklaces, pendants, badges, sunglasses, headphones, etc.

All in all, the player must dress like a successful person, and a suit and leather shoes are the best.

NBA's "zero tolerance rule" was implemented at the start of the 2006-2007 season.

The NBA introduced rules that limit player complaints about referee decisions during games, which allows referees to blow technical fouls on players who complain too violently about the decision. Players and the media call it a "zero tolerance" rule.

At the moment, it has not been implemented and will not be discussed.

In addition, a series of adjustments have been made to the suspension rules, penalty rules, timing rules, detailed statistics, various leaderboards, etc.

In '99, the "God of Basketball", "Flyer", "NBA Global Idol", the greatest guard swingman, the founder of the two-time Bulls dynasty, the great Michael Jordan retired for the second time.

Due to factors such as labor negotiations, league shutdowns, shrinking of the regular season, and Michael's retirement, the NBA's attention began to decline, and some TV stations took the opportunity to lower their offers for NBA television rights.

David Stern had a headache, a terrible headache, and struggled to negotiate with the big bosses of NBA teams and partner TV stations, while appeasing the NBA players' union, while working out a new "NBA Global Icon Program."

It's a huge plan, including the NBA's current super-point guards, top-notch swingmen, and super-centers.

Among the super point guards are: Tim Hardaway, Nash, Kidd and many more.

Among the swingmen at the forward are: Vince Carter, Alan Houston, Michael Finley, Kobe Bryant, and many more.
