Will NBA stay in Las Vegas after the NBA All Star Game?
What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas right?
Well, what if the NBA All Star Game happens in Las Vegas, will it stay there? Can we see a professional NBA basketball team from Las Vegas after hosting it’s first NBA All Star weekend? Hmm… this year’s hosts sure hope so.
February 18 is the NBA All Star game, following NBA All Star Saturday that will feature the three-point shootout and the slam dunk contest just to name a few. Oh yeah, it’s shaping up to be one heckuva’ weekend all right.
An event as big as this, the city of Las Vegas definitely wants its own NBA Basketball team now. However, sending a team to Las Vegas would require NBA commissioner David Stern to change his stance on gambling. He was quite clear on the subject last year, ‘’We are not going to go there while they have betting on NBA games.'’
Uh oh… As far as I know, Las Vegas and betting is like milk and cookies, bread and butter, panties and… well, you get the idea.
‘’I guess all I’d say is that we’ve been having these discussions now for somewhere over 20 years,'’ NBA Commissioner David Stern said. ‘’But on the other hand, our owners are the ones that ultimately call the shots, and so I wouldn’t, there’s no sense in laying down at the bridge. But right now our policy has been very consistent and has been acted upon for the last two decades.'’
Say what?
I have no idea what this retard meant by that but as far as I’m concerned, teams like the New Jersey Nets, the Seattle Supersonics and the New Orleans Hornets are thinking about moving so I don’t know how long will Stern hold on to his stupid policy.
Especially if there’s a million dollars involved.
