Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:15:30 +1900

As we've mentioned before , there is significant evidence to believe that David Stern and Clay Bennett are good friends (I think actually, it's a fact, if that is a provable statement). This friendship took another convenient twist with the latest news re: hijacking Seattle. How else can you explain the subsequent timeline of events : Bennett signing a settlement that agrees to return the ...
