Hey David Stern! Put Down the Fork and Do Your Job

It's less than two months since the NBA celebrated its highest ratings in years for an NBA Final series, and Stern, CAA, and Le Petit Prince LeBron have turned the NBA into the biggest joke in professional sports.

It's pretty obvious to anybody who can read, Miami colluded to bring LeBron James to Miami to play with Dwayne Wade. They did it using Wade as a player to run discussions between Pat Riley and James.

Technically, they didn't break any rules. But if you let a GM talk to a player through an intermediary about business plans for the next season, it's pretty obvious what's going on. 

If a player is already making plans to leave the team he's playing on for another, it's pretty obvious he is no longer fully engaged in winning for his current team.

In the past, David Stern used to stop that kind of monkey business for the good of the league. But now he seems to be willing to suck up to the stars in his league like a starstruck kid looking for validation. Or maybe he just can't put his fork down long enough to do his job anymore.

Now Chris Paul announces he wants to force a trade out of New Orleans. Or at least his agent at CAA says he wants out. More and more, it's looking like CAA has more control over the league than Stern does.

Unfortunately, Paul has a contract that ties him to his current team for the next two years. That seems to be a minor inconvenience to the dirtbags at CAA.  

Now we have another player saying he wants to start a super team.

As far as I'm concerned, there really isn't any reason to watch the New Orleans Hornets play basketball anymore. I don't believe they will be playing to the best of their abilities. Certainly Paul won't be playing to the best of his.

We know this because Stern let Le Petit Prince LeBron quit on his team last year and did nothing about it. He let LeBron make a mockery of the NBA. The league that made him a star.

And he did quit. We all know it. 

So I have a suggestion, Mr. Stern. Since it's obvious the inmates are running the asylum. Why not sign the league with CAA?

Then get a meeting with VH1 and go straight to reality TV. Let CAA and Nationwide Wes call the shots and simply soft script for the games. Call it The Real World NBA. 

Think of all the possibilities. The Situation can coach the New Jersey Nets. Audrina from The Hills can be the general manager of the Clippers, and Mark Cuban can be, well, Mark Cuban.

Then LeBron's people can simply script it out so that he wins the title and everyone will be happy. 

The only people who will have a problem with it are the fans who believe sports are about competition and branding should be left up to people in the fashion industry.

Of course, I think it's very obvious that none of you give a darn about the fans.

They only get in your way when you're trying to get to the buffet table.
