Questions for David Stern

July 24, 2007 10:14 AM

In about an hour, you'll get to watch David Stern answer questions for the first time about Tim Donaghy, the referee who is alleged to have fixed games in cahoots with organized crime.

I have been mulling what questions I'd like to have answered, and was about to write about it, but then I found ESPN's Marc Stein had pretty much nailed all of them. Stein's piece is loaded with new information, and frankly is the best thing I have read yet on the topic.

Stern's press conference will be live on ESPN television, ESPNEWS, and here on ESPN.com at 11 am ET. I'm thinking there's a good chance that this will be the most-watched press conference of David Stern's career. Sometimes he can be so charming and intelligent. Other times he comes off as callous and dictatorial. As someone who loves the NBA, I hope we get the friendlier one. It'd be good for the league if he can use this moment to not just establish that he's in control, but also to win over a lot of the public.

UPDATE: Conference starting now. You can launch video player from the main page of ESPN.com or click here. (UPDATED LINK)
