Current NBA boss spanks Cuban whereas previous NBA boss would have crushed him

Mark Cuban best be thanking the good lord that David Stern is no longer his league’s commissioner.

Had Stern been the NBA commissioner during this sexual harassment scandal, you can bet that he would have put Cuban in a real life shark tank.

No one loved a good punitive punishment more than Stern, who took defending his brand quite seriously and had a particular affection for fining the Mavs owner during his tenure.

Having retired in 2014, Stern is no longer the NBA commissioner. Adam Silver is the NBA commissioner, and one of the biggest reasons he has the job is Cuban worked hard to make that happen.
